My son loves this stuff. He was so AMAZED that you could make mac and cheese without a box and dry mix!
Ingredients:
2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, if you prefer
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (i use colby or jack for a milder flavor or sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor)
Directions:
1. Melt butter and blend in flour and pepper, blending well.
2. Add milk and stir constantly over medium heat until thickened.
3. Add 1 cup of the grated cheese and stir until melted.
4. Combine macaroni with sauce and pour into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish.
5. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle paprika on top.
6. Bake uncovered at 375° for 25 minutes.
