Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, plus more for baking dishes 1/4 cup store-bought or 3/4 cup homemade breadcrumbs 1 pound grated white cheddar cheese (4 cups) Salt and pepper 8 ounces elbow macaroni 1 1/4 cups whole milk 8 ounces cream cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter four 14-ounce ovenproof dishes. In a small bowl, toss 1 tablespoon melted butter with breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup cheddar.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni until al dente, according to package instructions; drain.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring milk to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; add cream cheese, cut into cubes, stir until melted, 2 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining cheddar until melted, 5 minutes. Add cooked pasta, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.

Divide the mixture among prepared dishes. Bake until bubbling, 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until golden, 10 minutes more.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       09/14/2017   So I think it is definitely 1 lb of cheddar:8 oz of cream cheese:8 oz of pasta. I made it with 8oz each of cheddar, cream cheese and pasta, as mentioned on the video - though the cheddar amount looked huge in the video compared to my 8oz - which was a lot, but not as huge as compared to the video. Mine seemed too watery when i put them into the 12-muffin tin, but hoped they would firm up a bit when cooked. It tasted fine, but as soon as I took out each muffin-sized portion after cooling for 15 minutes, it would collapse. I think doubling the cheddar is necessary to hold the shape. But that is SO much cheese for just 1/2lb of pasta!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       11/28/2015   Very yummy....wish Martha's recipes were easier to read...so glad for the video.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/19/2015   I just made this recipe for my son today, I followed the instructions in the video it came out delicious! I just don't understand how the printed version is so different...I even thought it was another recipe.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/23/2014   So easy and delicious! Made with only a couple of changes – used extra sharp white cheddar cheese and used 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs. Prepared exactly as directed but used a 12 x 8 inch glass dish instead of 4 ramekins. Great recipe!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/21/2014   I also noticed a difference. In video she says 8 oz of cheddar cheese, but recipe calls for a pound. I haven't made it yet, but if anyone has, what is the right amt? I'm going to pre-make this for an RV camping trip and reheat in oven for b'fast! THANKS  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/24/2014   Sorry. 4. Should read: The printed version bakes the mac/cheese for 10 minutes, then puts on the crumb mixture and bakes a further 10 minutes, not "The video bakes the mac/cheese for 10 minutes, then puts on the crumb mixture and bakes a further 10 minutes."  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/24/2014   (Continuation of review) 4. The video puts the crumb mixture directly onto the mac/cheese and them bakes for 20 minutes. The video bakes the mac/cheese for 10 minutes, then puts on the crumb mixture and bakes a further 10 minutes. These appear to be two different recipes, or at least two versions of the same recipe. Why is this? Why give a video of a recipe and then change (a) the ingredients and (b) the method in the printed version?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/24/2014   This is not quite the recipe as demonstrated in the video. 1. The video says heat the oven to 350 deg. The printed recipe says heat the oven to 400 deg. 2. The video recipe calls for 1/2 lb of cheddar cheese. The printed recipe calls for 1 lb of cheddar cheese. 3. The video recipe is divided amongst 12 muffin cups. The printed recipe is divided amongst 4 14 oz ovenproof dishes. (Continued)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/24/2014   I'm a little confused......Your original email posting was the mac & cheese in muffin tins - but your recipe is for individual ramekins servings - and only for 4! Metal muffin tins bake hotter than ceramic ramekins....So WHY didn't you stick with the original idea? (ANY RECIPE that calls itself "Mac & Cheese" ALWAYS makes the mouth water!!!!!)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/29/2008   This dish is delish! My dad typically won't eat pasta but he loves this tangy entree. Serve with roasted plum tomatoes for a classy and simple dinner.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/22/2007   This is THE BOMB dish! It's easy and it's a big hit for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and my mom would drive to the other side of town to pick up some macaroni from a deli. Delicious! Thank you.
