After 30 mins remove foil stir the Mac and cheese and cook fo another 5 to 7 mins uncovered then stir and serve

If you’d like to add some breading at the top, do so in the last 2 mins of cooking.
Notes
You can use store bought pre shredded cheese if that is what you prefer. However, be aware that pre shredded cheeses have anti caking agents that can make your mac and cheese thicker. Therefore, you may need to add extra liquid when using pre shredded cheese.
