Homemade Mac & Cheese

I don't know about you, but I've never been a very big fan of boxed pasta. It always seems WAY to salty to me and just isn't to my taste. So, instead I came up with this, which takes almost the same amount of time to make, and in my opinion, tastes extremely better.

*This recipe makes enough to serve 2-3 adults or 5-6 children.

Ingredients:

2 T. Butter

2 T. Flour

1 3/4 C. Milk

1/2-1 lb. cheese (or velveeta)

1/2-1 lb. noodles

Salt/Pepper to Taste

First make sure you put water on to boil for the noodles. Turn another pot on to medium heat and melt the butter.

While waiting for the butter to melt, grate the cheese (or cut the velveeta into small chunks.) Tip on the cheese: velveeta will produce a more velvety, smooth texture then the grated cheese.

Once butter has melted whisk in the flour until blended.

Pour milk into the flour mixture, turn up to medium-high heat, and whisk (important to keep it constantly moving or it could scorch) until it thickens and begins to boil. Be careful to watch it once it boils. It will boil over in a matter of seconds if you're not careful. (Learned this the hard way, multiple times.

Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese. Stir until melted. Turn heat off.

Once noodles are done stir them into cheesy goodness.

Enjoy!
