Mac ‘n’ Cheese
My friend Tammy gave me the BEST recipe for homemade mac ‘n’ cheese last year and I have been using it faithfully ever since! It’s a BIG hit at potlucks, with company or just for ourselves! Everyone tells me over and over that they love it, and I agree - it’s great! So here is the recipe:
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cups milk (I have used soy milk as well and it works just fine!)
1 & 1/2 cups (or more) grated cheese
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
2 cups small pasta, cooked
1/3 cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
1/4 cup grated cheese
Melt butter and blend in flour and seasonings. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and add 1 & 1/2 cups cheese, and mustard. Stir until smooth. Cook macaroni; drain. Add sauce and pour into 2-qt. baking dish (I sometimes find I can cook more pasta, and use the same amount of sauce and use a 3-qt dish). Sprinkle top with bread crumbs and 1/4 cup grated cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 400F for about 20 minutes.
Mmmm thanks for the yummy reminder, i’m totally having this for supper! =D
