Ellen’s Thanksgiving Recipes Playlist:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 1/2 cups hot evaporated milk
1 (8 oz) package sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounce (half of 8 ounce) carton cream cheese spread or half of 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white or black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (8 ounce) package colby jack cheese, shredded
1 (8 ounce) package fresh or regular mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (16 ounce, 1 pound) bag elbow macaroni
Panko Breadcrumb Topping
1/2 cup original or Italian panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and white or black pepper, to taste
Chopped cooked bacon, for the top (optional)
Ellen’s Magic: If using Italian Breadcrumbs, you can omit the Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. If the fresh Mozzarella is too watery, cover it with paper towels and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight to absorb the water.
Place the blocks of cheese into the freezer for 15 minutes, it will shred much better and the cheese won’t fall apart.
Preheat the Oven to 350 Degrees
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add evaporated milk and heat it through (do not boil). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add in the elbow macaroni. Cook the pasta according to the package directions (al dente) be careful not to overcook it. Drain (do not rinse the macaroni) and set it aside.
For the Cheese Sauce:
In the same pot over medium heat (no need to wash it), add the butter and let it melt. Once the butter has melted, add the flour, whisk, and cook for 2 minutes (whisk constantly to get rid of the lumps). Then slowly pour the hot evaporated milk into the flour mixture, whisk and cook until thickened. When it thickens, remove from the heat and add in cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, ground mustard, and smoked paprika and mix until well combined and the cheeses melts. Once the cheeses has melted, add in the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined.
Shred the colby jack and mozzarella cheese together, transfer both the cheeses into a medium bowl and set aside.
Add a layer of the macaroni and cheese at the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly. Then add a heavy layer of the colby jack and the fresh mozzarella on top. Repeat the process then sprinkle the panko breadcrumb topping right on top (and bacon, if desired). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!!!
For the Panko Breadcrumb Topping:
Melt the butter in the microwave or pan over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs, (Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, if using) into the melted butter; stir until well combined.

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Casserole
This Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Casserole is a twist on a childhood favorite (adult-approved, too). Adding a hint of seasoning, like dry mustard and onion powder, and making the cheese sauce with dairy and lots of shredded cheeses gives it just the right amount of flavor and kick.
