Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 2.5 cups elbow macaroni
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted
  • 1 sleeve buttery round crackers, crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain well.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and salt; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in Cheddar cheese until cheese is melted. Add macaroni and stir to coat; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter and crushed crackers together in a bowl; scatter evenly over macaroni mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 45 minutes.
