The roux is what really makes the Mac and cheese stand out.Boil Mac and cheese
Make roux out of flour and butter (youtube it)
Add Ragu Double cheddar to roux and mix it( I use 2 bottles, about 2 bucks a bottle)
Pour cheese mix into the macaroni
Add and mix shredded cheese of your liking (the more the better)
Put macaroni into the pan
Add bread crumbs on top of the macaroni and cheese
and bake for 30 - 45min at 325 degrees.
I would suggest getting shredded sharp cheddar instead of Ragu jars because it's a lot easier and makes it more homemade.
Also, if you want to really kick it up, fry some bacon to crumble on top. When it's finished, use the bacon grease to cook some chopped onions and minced garlic so you can add it to the cheese mixture.
Oh yeah protip: don't overcook pasta. It should be a little al dente (firm) if you plan on throwing it in the oven. Also it prevents the noodle from breaking apart when you fold in the cheese. [emoji]128077[/emoji]
