Ingredients

    12 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow-type
    1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
    12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
    8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded
    1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/8 tsp ground nutmeg-I used just a sprinkle
    2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs
    2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.


Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside.


Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg.


Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.


Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta.


Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

    I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I've made it for my family and they didn't even know it was a "healthy" baked mac n cheese. I always make sure to add a little veggies to it too(: - 6/29/15

    I made this last night, and I thought it was really good. I had never made homemade baked mac & cheese before, and this was so simple, it had just enough cheese and just enough crusty top.. I added some light lean turkey sausage for just a little kick, and I turned out really good. Impressed! :) - 5/8/12
