Add the cooked macaroni to the mixing bowl and gently toss until evenly coated in the sauce.

Top with the remaining macaroni mixture and spread evenly to cover.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mixbreadcrumbs with melted butter. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
