Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese

butter (for the casserole dish)

Table salt

elbow macaroni

heavy cream

milk

cornstarch

water

cheddar cheese

garlic powder

onion powder

store-bought

black pepper

Preheat

Grease

Lightly grease a 4-quart (3.8-liter) casserole dish or Dutch oven with butter.

Boil

Fill a large pot about three-quarters full of water, generously season the water with salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and transfer to the prepared casserole dish.

Heat

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream and milk. Heat just until boiling.

Whisk

While the milk mixture heats, whisk the cornstarch and water into a slurry in a small bowl.

Cook

Turn the heat under the milk mixture to medium and whisk in the slurry until the sauce is thick and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the cheeses. Stir until the sauce is very smooth.

Pour

Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, the garlic powder, onion powder, rub, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir to coat.☞TESTER TIP: If you want to add a layer of buttery bread crumbs here, mix up panko, bread crumbs, or crushed crackers with some butter (and a little extra BBQ rub, if you like), and sprinkle over the mac and cheese. (See the FAQ above.)

Bake

Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before devouring.
