Ingredients
- Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Swiss cheese
- 2 cups, shredded
- Milk
- 2 cups
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Mushrooms
- 2 cups, sliced
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Macaroni
- 2 cups, uncooked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring continuously until it is fully absorbed.
- Gradually pour in the milk, continuously stirring to prevent any lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the saucepan, stirring to ensure that each piece is generously coated with the cheese sauce.
- Transfer the macaroni and cheese into a baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
- For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or some cooked bacon bits. You can also experiment with different types of mushrooms like cremini or portobello for a more robust flavor.
