Cooking My Own Batch of Mac N Cheese

I was totally craving mac n' cheese today. So I decided to try cooking a batch myself, rather than using the boxed ones with the powdered milk and cheese.

Found an easy recipe online. The ingredients are quite simple, shredded cheese, processed cheese, macaroni, and half & half.


Cook the macaroni like you would with any other kinda of noodle. Boiling water and constantly stirring.


Drain the macaroni and then put it back into the pot, add the shredded cheese, half & half and processed cheese. I only used kraft singles because our Ralphs totally didn't have Velveeta processed cheese.

We added a little bit more to the recipe. Jeric made bread crumbs by placing slices of bread into the blender and then we topped the mac n' cheese with that.


I looked up online and saw that you should broil the dish in the oven for 5 minutes in order to toast the crumbs on top of the mac n' cheese.

Tada! Home made mac n' cheese!


The results? Well.. there were far too many bread crumbs! Hahaha. Guess we weren't supposed to pile it on. And the actual mac n' cheese? Pretty bland. I didn't add enough salt.

Oh well, I'll still eat it!
