Cracker Barrel Baked Macaroni Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the macaroni, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still 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 heat and stir in Cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted. Add the macaroni and stir to coat. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix the 1/4 remaining cup melted butter and crushed crackers together in a bowl; scatter the cracker mixture evenly over the macaroni mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat; add the flour a little bit at a time whilst whisking to make a roux.
• Heat the broth.
• Next, add the broth to the roux, and stir with the whisk; this will thicken as it heats.
• Add a little cream, watching for the desired consistency.
• Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a separate pot; add salt and pasta.
• In the other pot, add shredded cheese a 1/4 of a cup at a time whilst stirring with a spoon. When you have about one cup of cheese in you can add the rest of the cheese.
• Cook the pasta until al dente; strain and combine with the cheese sauce.
• Pour the mix into a casserole and bake uncovered in a preheated oven set to 350°F for about 10 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the mac & cheese, you want it to brown around the edges and in patches on top.
• Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
