Alton Brown's Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Recipe #107712 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Chef Boy of Dee's
Jan 5, 2005

This is in reply to a request for mac and cheese. I copied this from Alton Brown "Good Eats" from the food network. Does take a bit of work, but well worth it. You can add tuna, hot dogs or any other kinds of additions you want.

Ingredients

Topping

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
  2. 2
    While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes making sure it's free of lumps.
  3. 3
    Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
  4. 4
    Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. 5
    Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  6. 6
    For the topping, melt the butter in a sauté pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. 7
    Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

This was my first time making baked mac and cheese and it was delicious! i left out the onion and added ALOT more cheese. I also left out the bread crumbs and just sprinkled some cheese on top when it was done. perfect for our very first 4th of July cookout!

    I made this for my mom on Mother's Day. I was worried because her mac and cheese is a family favorite but I think this turned out even better! Great flavor. I love the addition of onions. The leftovers were awesome as well. Thanks so much.

    YUMMDILLYLICIOUS! Was about to make broccoli cheese casserole for a church supper and caught the episode that featured this recipe and changed my mind. Everyone loved this. I made it the night before up 'til the baking part. I just added about 20 minutes bake time as I got ready for church. The only thing different I would do is perhaps add about 1 tsp. extra mustard and perhaps use x-tra sharp cheese. But truly that is a personal taste change. DH and everyone that tried it at church loved it.

    This is a fabulous macaroni and cheese recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. You will dirty alot of dishes and utensils but you'll forget about all of that when you taste the end result. Excellent instructions.
