Baked Macaroni and Cheese
My mother in law just sent us this recipe the other day. Although I have yet to try it she says it is very good. Let us know what you think.
2 cups elbow macaroni
2 cups milk
4 Tbsp. Flour
4 Tbsp. Butter
½ tsp. Pepper
1 to 1 ½ tsp. Dry mustard
2 cups grated cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup butter
1. preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. cook macaroni until al dente, drain and place in a casserole dish
3. melt butter in a saucepan. Add flout, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Stir until combined and bubbly.
4. remove from heat and very gradually add milk while constantly whisking.
5. return to heat and heat until boiling. Stir constantly.
6. remove from heat and stir in cheese until cheese is melted.
7. pour over macaroni and stir.
8. melt butter and add bread crumbs to melted butter and sprinkle on top of macaroni.
9. bake for 15 minute until bubbly.
Notes from mom:
Cheese – I prefer sharp cheddar but I often make this to use up extra cheese and use a mixture of different cheeses. You can use a milder cheese and even Velveeta works if you like.
Dry mustard – use more if you like a spicier flavor.
Bread crumbs – you may use regular bread crumbs but I pre Panko bread crumbs.
