Here is how you make Old School Mac n' Cheese:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Slowly add flour to butter, whisking constantly; cook until brown and the mixture no longer smells of flour, about 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup milk into the flour mixture, whisking continually until fully incorporated, about 45 seconds; repeat twice. Add remaining 1-1/2 cups milk to the mixture, whisking to incorporate. Stir mustard powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper into the mixture; season with salt and black pepper.Reduce heat to low. Cook sauce, whisking frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; stir continually until the cheese melts completely. Repeat with Velveeta, about 4 ounces at a time. Once cheese is entirely incorporated, remove sauce from heat.Stir drained macaroni into the cheese sauce to coat. Pour the macaroni into a 9x13-inch baking dish.Mix panko, 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Top the macaroni evenly with the mixture. Spray the top with cooking spray.Bake in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.Serving Size: Makes 10 ~1 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user STEPH057.
