Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

It takes about 20 minutes to prep this meal and 15-20 minutes to bake.

1 pkg 8 oz elbow macaroni (or roughly 3 cups)
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
2 c milk
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Cook and drain macaroni. In a shallow 1 1/2 quart pan (my 8x8 works too) layer macaroni and 1 1/2 cups cheese and white sauce.

White sauce: in a saucepan melt butter, flour, salt, pepper, and milk. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Pour sauce over mac and cheese layers.

Bake 375 degrees 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.

  1. Broccoli just tastes so good with homemade Mac and Cheese. This is a family favorite, but we add a bit of Worcestershire sauce (about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) to the white sauce. I also think my recipe omits butter. Hmm...I will have to give yours a try.
