 Ingredients:

For the macaroni:

• 1 8 oz. block of Westby medium cheddar cheese – shredded
• 4 tbsp of Westby sweet cream butter
• 1 ½ cups of Westby cheese curds (or about half of the 12 oz. bag)
• 1 cup Westby sour cream
• 2 cups whole or 2% milk
• 16 oz elbow macaroni noodles
• ½ tsp dried mustard
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 ½ tsp salt

For the topping:

• ½ cup Westby grated parmesan
• ¾ cup Italian style breadcrumbs
• 4 tbsp of Westby sweet cream butter – melted

(Pro tip: With the WI Dairy Farmers Box, you’re stocked with ingredients to double this recipe!)

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in noodles. Cook macaroni to al dente according to the box’s instructions.
2. Drain the noodles and set aside. Over medium heat, melt 4 tbsp of butter in the same pot as before.
3. Once butter is melted, add in sour cream, milk and cheeses. Slowly stir ingredients together for about 10 minutes or until mixture is mostly melted.
4. Stir back in the macaroni and add in dried mustard, garlic powder and salt. Once well combined, let sit while you prepare the baked topping.
5. In a small bowl, mix grated parmesan, breadcrumbs and melted butter.
6. Transfer the macaroni and cheese from the pot to a 9 x 13 in. baking dish. (Don’t forget to spray the dish with non-stick spray!)
7. Sprinkle on topping mixture evenly and bake at 400 degrees for 15 min. The topping should start to brown. Broil for 1-2 min for an extra crisp.
