This is one of my favorite recipes!!!
My kids LOVE this recipe! And so do all their friends!! *big grin*
It's simple, easy and takes only 15 minutes.
Let's get started....!!!
Ingredients
4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups macaroni noodles
1 1/2 cups milk (we use lactose-free)
1 tsp salt (scant)
1/8 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cups shredded cheese (white cheddar is our favorite but any hard cheese will work)
How To
1. Half fill a medium pot with water and put on high heat to boil.
2. Place butter in a small pot and put on low to melt. Once melted whisk in flour. Continue to cook 1 minute or until bubbling.
3. Water should now be boiling. Add macaroni noodles to water and turn down to medium. Stir occasionally with spatula to prevent noodles from sticking to bottom of pot.
4. Whisk milk to bubbling butter-flour mixture. Add salt and pepper. Turn up heat slightly. Continue to whisk occasionally to prevent milk from burning. Cook until thick and bubbling, approximately 5 minutes.
5. Whisk the shredded cheese into the thickened sauce until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.
6. Drain noodles once cooked (should be finished cooking within minutes of the sauce being completed) and place in serving bowl. Using the spatula scrape the sauce from it's pot and add to the noodles.
Option: add more shredded cheese to garnish serving bowl or plates.
I know you'll love this recipe! And your kids will love it too!! We make it at least once a week (sometimes more!!!). A great stand-alone dish for lunch or as a side for supper.
