Mac and Cheese-To Die For

From: Jamie

I don’t always bake the Mac and Cheese and tend to serve it after adding the sauce.

TO DIE FOR MAC AND CHEESE

Disc­lai­mer: I got this recipe from our news­pa­per, and it is the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten. It isn’t exactly health food, but some­ti­mes com­fort food just has to be gooey.

2 C elbow macaroni

2 T butter

2 T flour

2 C milk

2 C ched­dar cheese, shredded

¼ tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

Dash nut­meg

Cook nood­les accor­ding to pac­kage and drain. While nood­les are coo­king, make cheese sauce. In a large sau­ce­pan on medium heat, melt but­ter. Add flour to but­ter and stir to create a paste. Add milk and keep sti­rring. Add cheese, salt, pep­per, nut­meg, and stir till thick and creamy. Keep an eye on the sauce b/c it can burn quickly. Put nood­les into a cas­se­role dish. Pour cheese sauce over nood­les and mix well. Cook in oven at 350 for ten minu­tes. Broil to brown top for 2–3 minutes.
