Steps

30 mins

1

Start by boiling water for pasta;
Add macaroni and return to boil for 7 minutes.
2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on low/medium heat. When butter is melted stir in the flour to create a Roux.
Keep stirring butter/flower Roux to avoid burning. Cook on medium heat until the flower cooks and develops a nutty aroma.
3

Add the half & half to the Roux and continue to whisk until the liquid reaches a near boil. The sauce should have thickened up. Add most of the cheese to the sauce and stir until melted. (Reserve 1/2 cup of cheese for topping)
Add the Italian seasonings and garlic powder. Reduce heat to low.
4

Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Transfer into mixing bowl.
5

Pour cheese sauce over macaroni and mix together well.
6

Finely chop the broccoli and add it to the macaroni and cheese, add the sour cream next, mixing well again. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish.
7

In a food processor, grind up the potato chips. Mix the chip crumbs with the remaining cheese and top the casserole.
8

Bake at 400° for 20 minutes
