Ingredients

  • 34 lb elbow macaroni, cooked (3/4 of a 1lb box)
  • 20 ounces bricks of cracker barrel extra-sharp cheddar cheese, cut into chunks (2 bricks)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 14 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 12 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 14 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt & pepper

Method

  • Add milk to this mixture.
  • Add in dry mustard and Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut 1.5 bricks of cracker barrel cheddar into chunks or grate (speeds melting).
  • Put in sauce pan with milk and roux mixture and 1.5 bricks of the Cracker Barrel cheese.
  • Heat until completely combined and cheese is melted on a low-medium setting.
  • Do NOT boil!
  • Boiling will cause a reaction and the cheese will not incorporate with the milk, trust me I made this mistake before.
  • Add 1/2 the cooked noodles to the casserole dish.
  • Pour 1/2 the sauce mixture over the noodles in dish.
  • Grate the remainder of the brick of cracker barrel cheese.
  • Use 1/2 of that to top what you have added to the casserole dish.
  • Add the remaining noodles and cover with the remaining milk/cheese mixture.
  • Add the remaining cheddar and the parmesan to the top of casserole.
  • Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes.
