Time 55m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 pounds elbow macaroni
10 cups milk, divided
2 pounds Colby cheese, shredded
2 pounds sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs or crumbled buttery crackers
1/2 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Make a roux by melting butter, add flour and stir, then cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Set aside to cool. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and put into a disposable foil pan. While macaroni is cooking, heat 8 cups of the milk, add the Colby and Cheddar cheeses and cook over medium heat while stirring to melt cheese. Add the salt and white pepper to the cheese mixture. Add the roux and stir until well thickened. Add this cheese sauce to the cooked macaroni and mix well to coat macaroni. Pour in the remaining 2 cups milk. Combine the bread or cracker crumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the macaroni. You may prepare it this far, refrigerate, and bake it later. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30-45 minutes or until bubbly in the middle.
