Homemade Mac and Cheese. Doesn’t get much better than that. Creamy, cheesy goodness with a little crunch on top. Happiness. Coziness. That’s all I can say.
Macaroni and Cheese
2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni (7 oz)
1/4 c. margarine or butter
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. ground mustard
1/4 tsp. worcestershire sauce
2 c. milk
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (8 oz)
Cook macaroni as directed on package. While that is cooking, melt margarine in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, mustard, and worcestershire. Cook over low, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cheese until melted. Drain macaroni and gently add to cheese sauce. Pour into ungreased 2 qt. casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 20-25 min.
You can top with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, too, if you want. Just melt about 2 Tbsp. butter and mix with 2/3 c. bread crumbs.
Sprinkle over top.
Add cheese.
Delicious!! It is my all time favorite recipe. Thanks for the great recipe post.
What do you mean by ground mustard? Is that like a powder or is it in a bottle like normal mustard? Sorry I am not a mustard fan so I have no clue. It looks yummy. I want to make it for dinner tonight. Thanks for the great ideas!
Yes, it's a powder. You could possibly use regular mustard or just skip it this time. Just to let you know, by adding the bread crumbs, it dries the dish out a bit. Next time I make this, I will skip that part. Good luck!
