Ingredients:

• 1 box macaroni and cheese: Choose your favorite brand or make your own from scratch.
• 1 cup shredded cheese: Additional cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for a richer flavor.

Equipment:

• Homtone pizza oven with manual function.
• Baking dish that fits within your oven (13.4" x 13.4").
• Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot trays.
• Mixing bowl (if making mac and cheese from scratch).
• Whisk or spatula (if making mac and cheese from scratch).
• Serving plate or casserole dish.

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat: Set your oven to the MANUAL function at 400°F (204°C). This temperature will ensure the mac and cheese bakes evenly and gets a nice crust on top.

Step 2: Prepare the Macaroni and Cheese

1. Make Mac and Cheese (if from scratch): In a large pot, cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. In a separate saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until thickened. Stir in cheese until smooth. Combine the cooked macaroni and cheese sauce.
2. Use Store-Bought: If using a store-bought box, simply prepare according to package instructions.

Step 3: Add Extra Cheese

1. Mix in Extra Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the prepared macaroni and cheese with an additional cup of shredded cheese.

Step 4: Pour into a Baking Dish

1. Prepare Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Pour Mixture: Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Bake the Mac and Cheese

1. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

1. Cool: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set.
2. Serve: Use a spatula to serve the mac and cheese into bowls or plates.

Tips for Baked Mac and Cheese:

• Mac and Cheese Preparation: Whether you make it from scratch or use a box, ensure the macaroni is cooked to al dente and the cheese sauce is smooth.
• Extra Cheese: Adding extra shredded cheese on top will create a crispy, delicious crust.
• Baking Time: Keep an eye on the mac and cheese as it bakes to prevent overcooking. The exact time may vary slightly based on your oven.
• Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
