Campbell's No-Boil Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Prep Time5 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time50 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cans (10.5 ounces) CampbellāsĀ® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
3 cups reduced fat (2%) milk
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup plain panko
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Spoon the Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup into the baking dish then gradually whisk in the milk. Stir in the uncooked elbows, the cheese and pepper. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake, on the middle oven rack, for 30 minutes or until the elbows are tender. Uncover and stir well. (Don't worry - the mixture will still look very saucy but will continue to thicken in the next phase of baking.) Mix the panko and butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the panko mixture on top.
- Bake, on the upper oven rack, for 10 minutes or until the panko mixture is golden. (At this point, if you want your breadcrumbs crispier and if your baking dish is broiler-safe, you can broil for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.) Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Note: The stand time is important because the mac & cheese will be very hot and saucy, and it needs a few minutes to settle and thicken.
