Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients

instructions Preheat the oven to 400° F.

step 2

ingredients 2/3 pound elbow macaroni (yield: 4 cups cooked)
Kosher Salt
Olive Oil

instructions Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook the pasta until al dente, 8 – 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water. Place in a large mixing bowl. Add a touch of olive oil and toss lightly.

step 3

ingredients 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

2 tablespoon dijon mustard

2 tablespoon ketchup

kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

instructions In a sauté pan, over medium heat, sauté the ground beef. Drain the fat off and place back on the heat. Add the onion, garlic, mustard, ketchup and salt and pepper to taste. Brown the mixture well. Remove from stove.

step 4

ingredients 1 ¼ cup whole milk

instructions In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk to a boil. Remove from heat.

step 5

ingredients 1 ¼ tablespoon unsalted butter
1 ¼ tablespoon all-purpose flour

instructions In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the flour, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to brown the mixture. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking constantly (this will ensure that there are no lumps).

step 6

ingredients 4 ounce american cheese (shredded)
4 ounce sharp yellow cheddar cheese (shredded)
kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

instructions Add the cheddar and american cheeses. Stir frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

ingredients 3/4 cup sharp yellow cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs

instructions Combine the 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and ¼ cup breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the macaroni.

step 9
