Homemade Mac & Cheese
In college I minored in culinary arts – I’ve always loved to cook, and always been quite good at it. However, I have never, and I mean never, been able to master box macaroni and cheese. I’m not even kidding you, when I try to make it I end up spitting it out and sulking until K (the husband) takes pity on me and makes a new batch.
Ingredients
1½ cups macaroni (uncooked)
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoons flour
1¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
dash of dried mustard
Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, cook macaroni according to package. Drain and set aside.
2
Whisk together milk and flour in the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. (This will take about 2 minutes.)
3
Add cheese, salt, pepper and mustard. Stir until smooth.
4
Mix in cooked macaroni.
5
Remove from heat and let stand about 5 minutes.
