I have tried many (and I stress the word MANY) macaroni and cheese recipes, but this one is the keeper. It's simple and yummy!
2 cups elbow macaroni, boiled and drained
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cups milk
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded or chunked small
Boil pasta according to directions. Place strained pasta in baking pan.
In medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour. Gradually add remaining ingredients, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour mixture onto waiting pasta.
Bake 20 minutes until slightly browned and bubbly.

Just wanted you to know for sure that there was one very happy woman that you are doing this blog! Thanks for the all the great recipes. Im a regular visitor!
AND me ;) I am trying this today ;)
this is exactly my recipe for mac and chz!!!!
Ok you have to tell me... How come mine was uh weird in texture? I think I did somethign wrong ;) But it was good!
How was the texture weird? Was it lumpy? The first few times I made mac and cheese from scratch, that was my problem. You just have to make sure to stir REALLLLLY well. That's really my only complaint about homemade mac and cheese-the amount of time I spend just stirring.
That was probably the problem... DRAT! Do you think this will freeze well?
I wouldn't freeze it. Maybe you can try it and let us know how it turns out.
