Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make One-Pan Baked Mac and Cheese.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a 9-inch square baking dish, ungreased and ready for action, nestle blocks of Fontina and sharp Cheddar cheese right in the center.
Step 3
Surround this cheesy oasis with uncooked macaroni, spreading it out evenly for a perfect pasta embrace.
Step 4
Gently pour half-and-half over the macaroni, ensuring every piece is luxuriously coated.
Step 5
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking, adding a personal touch to the flavor.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle shredded white Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top, creating a delightful cheesy crown.
Step 7
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 25 minutes, allowing the magic to happen.
Step 8
Once the timer dings, take the dish out and stir in some milk, blending the noodles, cheese, and sauce into a creamy dream.
Step 9
Return the dish to the oven for another 25 minutes, or until the top is irresistibly golden and bubbly.
Step 10
Give it one last stir before serving, and savor the rich, comforting flavors of your homemade creamy mac and cheese!.
