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

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Making sure you're using the correct baking dish is very important in "no-boil" bake recipes. Shape is less important than depth and capacity. This recipe works best in a 13x9x2 baking dish. If you don't have a rectangular 13x9x2, you can use a round or oval Pyrex® or ceramic baking dish, as long as it can hold about 3 quarts and is about 2 inches deep. However, using alternate dish types may require additional baking time. 
    • This recipe was developed using elbow macaroni.  Using other pasta shapes may affect results.
  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 350°F.  Spoon the soup into a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.  Gradually whisk in the milk.  Stir in the uncooked elbows, the cheese and pepper. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.

  • Step 2

    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.

  • Step 3

    Bake, on the upper oven rack, for 5 minutes or until the panko mixture is golden brown.  Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
