MOM'S GOLDEN MACARONI
I first had this at my in-laws house when my husband and I first started dating. I loved it the first time I tasted it, probably because the sauce is actually condensed tomato soup which was always a favorite. It's quite easy to make and is done in no time. BUT, to this day, I don't know why my mother-in-law called it GOLDEN...

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and then stir in flour; cook for 1 minute or until lightly golden. Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring until thickened, and then stir in the 3 cheeses until fully melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cooked macaroni and stir to coat evenly. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, until brown and crisp on top.
- Remove from oven and preheat the broiler. Sprinkle Parmesan and bread crumbs over top. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your macaroni and cheese.
- Cook the macaroni al dente. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce and give it a creamy texture.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese has a strong flavor that will stand up to the other ingredients in the dish.
- Add some extras. Feel free to add other ingredients to your macaroni and cheese, such as cooked bacon, chopped ham, or diced tomatoes.
Conclusion:
Mom's Golden Macaroni is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender macaroni, and golden brown topping, this dish is a perfect choice for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
