No-Boil Cheddar Mac & Cheese
Prep Time10 Minutes

Cook Time68 Minutes

Ingredients
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) Campbell’s® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
3 cups reduced fat (2%) milk
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup plain panko
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Spoon the soup into the baking dish then gradually whisk in the milk. Stir in the uncooked elbows, the cheese and pepper. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake, on the middle oven rack, for 50 minutes or until the elbows are tender. Uncover and stir well. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Mix the panko and butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the panko mixture on top.
- Bake, on the upper oven rack, for 5 minutes or until the panko mixture is golden brown (or, if your baking dish is broiler-safe, you can broil for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy). Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Note, the stand time is important because the mac & cheese will be very hot and saucy, and it needs a few minutes to settle and thicken.
