  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp flour
  • 2 cup whole milk
  • 3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

STEP 1:
Whisk
Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and melt until it begins to bubble or foam. Whisk in flour and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Then, whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Once milk begins to boil, remove from heat. Add in mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, until melted.

STEP 2:
Stir
Stir in the cooked macaroni and the Short Cuts until well combined.

STEP 3:
Top
Top the macaroni mixture with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the cheese.

STEP 4:
Broil and Serve
Turn broiler on low and place skillet under broiler. Broil until the cheese and breadcrumbs are browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
