Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese

Step 5: Assemble & Bake

Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of cheddar on top.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Broil (Optional)

For a crisp, golden top, broil for 2–5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
