Servings:4
Ingredients
1 box elbow macaroni
3/4 stick butter
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups Cheez-Its, crushed
Salt and pepper, to taste
chopped chives, to garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Boil macaroni until it's tender. 7-10 minutes (check firmness). Strain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, then add a splash of cream. Add a handful of cheese and stir until combined. Add another splash of cream and stir again, add more cheese and stir again. Repeat this process until you only have a little cheese left (reserve that to sprinkle on top).
Return macaroni to pot, pour cheese sauce on top and stir. Pour into an oven-safe pan or casserole dish. Stir in some crushed Cheez Its and salt and pepper.
Sprinkle remaining cheese and Cheez-Its on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until Cheez -Its are lightly toasted on top. Serve with a chive garnish
