Homemade Mac & Cheese
Homemade mac & cheese is one of my kids FAVORITE things to eat!  It’s SO terribly easy to make, too!

Ingredients
  1. 8-10 oz. Dry Elbow Macaroni
  2. 1/4 C. Butter (1/2 Stick) - NOT Margarine!
  3. 2 1/2 C. Whole Milk
  4. 4 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
  5. 2 Bags of Shredded Cheese - Sharp Cheddar & a Blend work GREAT together
  6. Breadcrumbs for the Top
  7. Salt, 1 - 2 tsp - to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350, and grease a 9x13 Baking Dish. I used a Pyrex that was SMALLER and deeper because it works better for us.
  2. Turn the stove on low and in a saucepan, melt the 1/4 C. Butter
  3. Add the 4 Tbsp Flour and use a fork to blend well with the butter to make a thick paste
  4. Add the 2 1/2 C. Milk - we prefer using MORE milk for a creamier macaroni
  5. Stir frequently and the mixture should thicken up quite fast - stir often to ensure the lumps stay out of the mixture
  6. While you are doing the sauce, cook the macaroni al dente - drain
  7. In the sauce mixture, add BOTH bags of shredded cheese - we used Sharp Cheddar AND a Taco Blend (one of each)
  8. As the cheese gradually melts, stir often
  9. Once melted, turn the stove off, and stir in the macaroni
  10. Blend together well & add desired salt --- to taste
  11. Pour into the baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs
  12. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown
Notes
  1. To save on bread crumbs, we keep the ends from our Organic Bread in a Hefty One Zip - every week, we throw them in the food processor to make bread crumbs, that we can use for Meatballs and Macaroni & Cheese without having to purchase in store.

I can guarantee this won’t last long at your home – it’s GREAT right out of the oven, and even better the next day for leftovers!
