Macaroni and cheese is many kids' favorite dinner. However, store-bought mac and cheese is not very nutritious, so you can't feed it to kids very often. If your children love mac and cheese, prepare this homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. You can sneak in whole wheat pasta and some veggies and still have a comforting meal - a win-win if you ask me.
Ingredients for Kid-Approved Mac 'n' Cheese:
Method of preparing the Kid-Approved Mac 'n' Cheese:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp of milk with the cornstarch until no clumps remain.
-
Fill a large saucepan or pot with the remaining milk and heat it up over a medium flame.
-
Cook the macaroni in the pot according to the manufacturer's directions. Two minutes before it is ready, add in the broccoli and continue cooking.
-
When the milk is warm, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue mixing on low heat until it thickens to the consistency of custard. Remove from the stove and mix in the cheddar and parmesan (save a dash for garnish).
-
Strain the macaroni and broccoli, then add them into the saucepan with the sauce. Mix until all of the macaroni is covered in sauce. Then gently fold in the chopped cherry tomatoes.
-
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a casserole dish or an ovenproof skillet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce starts bubbling and the top is golden brown.
-
Sprinkle the casserole with the cheese you saved earlier and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
