Macaroni and Cheese
Casserole Macaroni and Cheese was my favorite dish growing up and it still is a hit with my children and grand children. They want some for every family get together. Here is a recipe we used to make at home when you didn’t have the choice of using a boxed product. Trust me this recipe is way better than the stuff in the box. Enjoy! 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni, shells
or you can even use spaghetti Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Drain well but do not rinse. Using a heavy saucepan or double boiler, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to make a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth. Stir the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce. Lightly spray a shallow 2 quart baking dish with Pam then scrape the mixture into the dish. Bake in the 350 degree oven, uncovered, until bubbly and lightly golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with grated cheddar cheese or American cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving if you like it thick.
