I know mac and cheese is popular: Kraft sells over 1 million boxes a day. Though buying it is easy, the taste is ok unless I’m *very* hungry. It was time to make it from scratch. I usually don’t make things with butter but I made an exception.
Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
4 oz uncooked elbow pasta (macaroni)
1 cup milk
paprika
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 TBS butter (I used bakeable margarine)
Directions
Make macaroni according to directions. Drain.
While heat is on med-low, stir in 1/2 cup milk, butter, and cheese until melted. Add more milk until sauce is thick. Sprinkle with paprika.
Epilogue
Originally I put in the 1 cup milk and the sauce was too thin. Definitely tastes better than the old standby and just about as easy to make.
This goes well with baked beans.
