The Best Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Ever

Are you looking for the ultimate macaroni and cheese recipe that will satisfy your cravings? Look no further! We've perfected our homemade macaroni and cheese recipe to deliver classic cheddar flavor in every bite.

While many recipes may call for a mix of cheeses like gruyère, fontina, brie, gouda, and blue cheese, we believe that classic cheddar is the way to go. It's time to ditch the fancy additions and focus on simplicity.

To start, cook your macaroni according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain the pasta and add it immediately to the sauce. While that's cooking, prepare your breadcrumbs by stirring them around in a pan with some olive oil over medium heat until they're crunchy and golden all over.

If you've made your sauce in an ovenproof casserole-type pan, leave everything in there. If not, transfer the sauce to a deep earthenware dish. You want the sauce to be slightly too wet because it will thicken up again in the oven, so add a splash of water if needed.

Now it's time to work on the flavor. Taste your sauce and season it until it hits the right spot. A little Worcestershire sauce added now is nice, and so is a little grating or two of nutmeg. Stir in your grated cheeses, chopped tomatoes, and pick in half of the thyme leaves. Give it a good stir and take the pan off the heat.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with crispy breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden, bubbling, crispy, and delicious.

Serve your macaroni cheese in the center of the table, garnished with crispy breadcrumbs and a lovely green salad. The combination is sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

Tips:

* Remove from heat and tip into a nice bowl.

* Stir and toss breadcrumbs around until crunchy and golden all over.

* If using an ovenproof casserole-type pan, leave everything in there.

* Add a splash of water if needed to achieve the right consistency.

* Taste and season your sauce until it hits the right spot.
