Once the pasta is baked (we baked it for about an hour) and the top starts to lightly brown, carefully open the oven and add 4 cups of shredded cheese also to the pan and mix in with the cooked pasta. Once the butter is stirred in, close the oven and bake for the rest of the time until the top begins to lightly brown and the inside is cooked.Д¬heck the contents in between (after about 50 minutes of time), since the oven temperatures can vary and in some cases the dish may get cooked early.

The contents will be really hot at this time and also there is a chance of spilling hot liquid from the pan if you move it too much, so be careful while doing so. In about few minutes (about 15 to 20 minutes), the butter will melt and so carefully open the oven and stir in the melted butter with the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Place the baking tray in the oven, set the timer for one hour to bake the mac and cheese.
