Recipe View 10 mins Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the macaroni is heated through, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread crumbs are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

For a richer flavor, try using a blend of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
Panko bread crumbs will give a crispier topping.
Feel free to add a pinch of garlic powder to the sauce for extra flavor.
If you don't have bread crumbs, crushed crackers also work well as a topping.

    I thought it might be bland, but the Worcestershire and hot sauce really kicked it up a notch. Will definitely make again!

  • Delfina Huel

    My kids love this! I usually double the recipe to make two servings.

  • Ima Rodriguez

    This recipe saved me! I was craving mac and cheese but didn't want to make a huge batch. This single serving was perfect.

  • Declan Streich

    So easy and quick! I added a little bit of cooked bacon on top before baking and it was amazing!
