one-pan white cheddar mac and cheese

one-pan white cheddar mac and cheese
  • 16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded white Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup real bacon bits
  • 1 tablespoon snipped chives


  1. Combine macaroni, milk, water, garlic salt, and salt in a Dutch oven on a stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently so noodles don't stick to the pan, until noodles are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes.
  2. Remove pot from heat and stir in margarine and pepper until melted. Stir in Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until melted.
  3. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  4. Top pasta with bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and bacon bits.
  5. Place Dutch oven under the broiler until topping is lightly browned and crispy, 1 to 3 minutes. Top with chives and serve immediately.
