¾ oz cheddar Milk
2 (4 oz) VELVEETA® Cheese Sauce Milk
¼ oz Dijon mustard
¾ oz grated Parmesan Milk
¼ oz granulated garlic
1 oz panko Wheat
How to make it
1
Cook pasta. Preheat oven to 425℉ with a rack in the upper third. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta; cook, stirring, until nearly al dente, 6-7 minutes. Drain and toss pasta with 1 tablespoon butter. Reserve saucepan.
2
Cook cheese sauce. Coarsely grate cheddar. In reserved saucepan, combine all of the Velveeta, Dijon mustard, half of the Parmesan, ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic, and ¾ cup water. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until hot and bubbling. Stir in pasta; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 6x9-inch baking dish.
3
Bake & serve. In a medium bowl, combine panko, cheddar, remaining Parmesan, ½ teaspoon granulated garlic, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle over pasta. Bake on upper oven rack until top is browned and sauce is bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Let mac & cheese rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
