  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 8 oz Macaroni
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  • Drain the macaroni and set it aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

  • Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce.
  • Stir well to ensure all the pasta is coated with the cheesy goodness.
  • Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to taste. Mix well.
  • If you want a crispy topping, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and bake for about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Mission BBQ Mac and Cheese!
