Instructions

Creating The Best Lobster Mac and Cheese Recipe can be as simple as following these instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Roux: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden, creating a roux.

3. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens.

4. Cheese Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheese until fully melted.

5. Enhance Flavors: Add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

6. Combine Lobster and Pasta: Gently fold in the cooked pasta and lobster meat, mixing until evenly coated with the cheese sauce.

7. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

8. Add Breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with a little melted butter (optional for extra flavor). Sprinkle evenly over the top of the mac and cheese.

9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
