This mac & cheese is absolutely delicious! I had never liked mac & cheese, but my mom had me try some of my Aunt Mandy's one night and I fell in love... I had to get the recipe! It's actually pretty simple to make. My aunt spent years trying different ingredients & methods and finally found the perfect way. So here it is! Ingredients:
4 cups noodles (any type of tubular pasta works best) |
6 cups sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup salted butter |
1/2 cup flour |
3 2/3 cups milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cook noodles.
3. While noodles are cooking make the medium white sauce: melt the stick of butter in a pan on stove top on high heat. When melted, add the flour and stir until smooth. Slowly add the milk while constantly stirring so it doesn't lump. When it's of a nice, medium thick consistency, add 3 cups of the cheese. Let melt while stirring constantly. When melted, turn off stove.
4. Pour some of the sauce in a 13 x 9 x 2 rectangular pan until it fills about the bottom 1/2 of the pan.
5. Add the noodles and then pour rest of sauce on top. Stir together.
6. Put last 3 cups of cheese on top.
7. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
