This is the one Baked Macaroni and Cheese dish that you will serve your family over and over. The tomato is only reccommended when they are fully ripe. The bread crumbs can be ommited too, but I love them with or without the tomatoes.

Ingredients

1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni shopping list
1/2 cup butter shopping list
1/2 cup flour shopping list
1-1/2 cup milk shopping list
1-1/2 cup sour cream shopping list
1 tsp salt shopping list
1/2 Tbsp pepper shopping list
10 oz bar sharp cheddar cheese, grated shopping list
panko bread Crumbs shopping list
butter for Crumbs shopping list

How to make it

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook macaroni in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pour into a 3-qt. casserole.
In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk and sour cream. Add salt and pepper.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce bubbles and thickens.
Reserve 1 cup grated cheese for the top of the casserole. Toss macaroni with remaining cheese.
Pour sauce over macaroni and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with reserved cheese.
Bake for 1 hour, or until bubbly and brown.
Serve immediately.
Notes: Use sharp or a mix of Gruyere and white cheddar.
Asiago cheese is also nice in mac and cheese dishes.
Sliced ripe tomatoes and buttered bread crumbs would be a nice addition.
Mix in the additional shredded cheese before adding the tomatoes.
Can add ham and onions for a heartier dish.

I am so excited to have found this recipe! I usually like adding in mushrooms, garlic and onions to mac & cheese, but this looks perfect with or without the additions! Thank you so much for sharing :)

Hi Dandelion. Justjakesmom forwarded this recipe and to me it sounds wonderful. From reading the other comments, I don't understand either why someone would rate it so low. Some people are just plain cruel. I'll try and bump it up a few notches. I especially like the sound of tomatoes in this.

Take care.

Well I'm confused...thought you rate a recipe only if you try one...otherwise, when reading a recipe, you click on the "does this look good?" portion! Just reading the recipe, I would say this looks very good and would agree with you, only good ripe in-season tomatoes would do!
