Macaroni and Cheese

 

My oldest was craving mac and cheese so made this for her! I used 2 cups instead of 3 cups of milk and used panko instead of dried bread crumbs.

·        2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1. Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.

 

Step 2. In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.

 

Step 3. Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika. (omitted this step and just spread panko over macaroni and cheese)
