Traditional Macaroni And Cheese

Recipe Ingredients

8 cups	1896ml	Water
		Salt
7 oz	198g	Elbow macaroni
5 tablespoons	75ml	Butter - melted
1 cup	237ml	Sour cream
2 cups	292g / 10oz	Sharp cheddar cheese - grated
1 1/4 cups	182g / 6.4oz	Dried white bread crumbs - toasted

Recipe Instructions

Use medium-sized macaroni, not large or salad-size. Macaroni gets floppy and limp when overcooked so begin testing for tenderness at 5 minutes.

Macaroni and cheese can taste flat, so carefully taste for salt and add until dish tastes finished. Bring water to boil and add salt to taste. Add macaroni and stir. Some macaroni will stick to bottom of pot, so stir often first 5 minutes of cooking. Cook until tender, about 7 minutes.

Drain in colander and pour into 2-quart baking dish. Add 3 tablespoons melted butter, sour cream, cheese and salt to taste. Toss mixture until all ingredients are well integrated and cheese has melted. Toss bread crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle over top of macaroni.

Bake at 350F 15 minutes. Serve hot.
