It's mac and cheese day! Who doesn't love good, homemade mac and cheese? I'll admit though, I do love out of the box...but that gets expensive...and it doesn't taste as good as the real thing.
Ingredients
Serving size: 6
- Butter (4 TBSP)
- Milk (2 1/2 cups)
- Flour (1/4 cup)
- Salt
- Nutmeg (1/8 tsp)
- Black Pepper (1/8 tsp)
- Cayenne pepper (1/8 tsp)
- Cheddar cheese (3 cups)
- Mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and butter/spray a casserole dish
2. Boil pasta as directed on the package
3. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. In the same pot you used for boiling the pasta, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, whisking, 1 minute.
4. While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.
5. Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper,cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese
6. Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes.
Yummy mac and cheese for a comfortable night in! And we made 6 servings so we can eat tomorrow since I won't have time to cook :-S
