Simple Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Easy, excellent macaroni and cheese. With so many pricey cheeses, designer mac and cheese can cost $40 or $50 to make, but it's not always the tastiest.   

INGREDIENTS

– 1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni – ¼ cup butter – ¼ cup all-purpose flour – ½ teaspoon salt – ground black pepper to taste – 2 cups milk – 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Bring a big pot of water that has been just mildly salted to a boil.

INSTRUCTIONS

You should cook elbow macaroni in water that is boiling, stirring it occasionally, for eight minutes, or until it is cooked through but still firm to the biting.  

2

Slowly pour in the milk while swirling nonstop throughout the process.  

3

Continue to simmer and stir the mixture until it is bubbling and smooth, which should take about five minutes.   

4

After about five minutes, add the flour, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is smooth.  

5

After draining the macaroni, fold it into the cheese sauce until it is completely covered.
