How To Make baked macaroni and cheese
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees; In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta enough to be firm but not soft.
-
2While 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. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
-
3Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
-
4Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs.
-
5Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
