Equipment

1 stockpot
1 9 x 13-inch baking dish

Ingredients

16 ounces elbow macaroni
2 cups whole milk
10 slices American Cheese chopped or torn
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup white Cheddar cheese shredded
½ cup Parmesan-Romano cheese

Topping

½ cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
½ cup white Cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Fill a pot of water with 4 quarts of water and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding an additional 2 minutes to the cook time.
Strain the water out afterward and add the pasta to an oven-safe 9x13-inch baking dish with a tablespoon of butter to keep it from sticking.
While the pasta is boiling, make the cheese sauce. Add milk, American cheese, butter, and salt to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the cheese has melted, whisking often.
Remove from heat and add 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 cup white Cheddar cheese, and the Parmesan-Romano. Stir until melted. Allow the sauce to sit and thicken for about 5-7 mins.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
After the sauce has thickened pour it over the noodles in the prepared dish. Top with ½ cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded white Cheddar cheese to the top.
Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Turn the broiler to HIGH and bake until the cheese begins to brown.
Remove from the oven and serve!
