This is a classic recipe for macaroni and cheese. The kids will love this! Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni |
4 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups milk |
1/4 onion, minced |
salt and pepper to taste |
1/4 pound processed cheese food |
1/4 pound shredded cheddar cheese |
1/4 pound shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Prepare the elbow macaroni according to package directions.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in the flour until a cream colored paste forms. Then pour in the milk and stir constantly until this comes to a hard boil, then stir for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. When the macaroni is cooked, spread 1/2 of it into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Then layer 1/2 of the grated onion, 1/2 of the salt and pepper and 1/2 of each of the cheeses. Repeat this one more time: macaroni, onion, salt and pepper and cheeses, and then pour the reserved white sauce over all. Top off with small pats of butter to taste.
5. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
