Tuesday Tip: Baked Mac and Cheese

I have learned that the best way to make baked macaroni and cheese is to put it under the broiler.  I have found that if you bake it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time too much of the cheese sauce is absorbed by the pasta.  Instead, place a layer of cheese and/or breadcrumbs on top of already hot mac and cheese and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes.  Keep and eye on it the entire time it is under the broiler.  The result will be a crispy golden brown crust, and a saucy mac and cheese below.
