To start with you will need Annie's macaroni and cheese, (you know, the bunny pasta) yes the good stuff in the box! I got the mild flavored blue box kind. Make the noodles, but only cook them for about 4 minutes and drain them.
Prepare the cheese sauce as instructed on the box, adding a little water to it so the noodles will finish cooking and the whole thing will be moist in the oven.
Put the noodles into a baking dish, or I used a loaf pan actually. Pour the sauce over it and sprinkle on a shredded cheese blend or shredded cheddar. As you're doing this add some bread crumbs too.
Now all that's left is maybe half an hour in a 350 degree oven. My oven doesn't brown anything on top unless you put it in the broiler, so that was my final step! This makes already tasty box mac and cheese into something that resembles a macaroni and cheese bake from scratch. The test kitchen does not recommend trying this with the Arthur inspired version as the little ant eater heads will become too mushy.
Meow-appetite!
