This is a macaroni and cheese I first made 3 years ago when I was in California. When I got back to Texas I made it for my mom. This is now her favorite baked macaroni and cheese. She begs me to make it when I come to visit.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb macaroni (I prefer large elbows or medium shells)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine (I prefer butter)
2 cups milk (I use skim)
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cook macaroni according to package instructions.
  • Drain, rinse and set aside.
  • In same pot over low heat, melt the butter.
  • Add flour, salt and pepper and whisk into melted butter until smooth.
  • Simmer and stir until mixture thickens into a paste and is golden.
  • Slowly add milk and whisk into butter mixture until smooth.
  • Bring to boil and then simmer until thickened.
  • There is no way to tell you how thick, except to say it should be thicker than gravy but not as thick as pudding.
  • If you have made basic white sauce, you will know when it is thick enough.
  • Remove pot from heat.
  • Add cheddar cheese and stir until cheese starts to melt.
  • Add macaroni and stir until coated.
  • Pour into a 9 x 12 baking dish or 2 quart casserole.
  • As an extra indulgence, you can sprinkle 4 oz more cheese on top.
  • I only do this if I happen to buy a 12 oz bag or block instead of 8 oz.
  • Bake about 20- 30 minutes, when you see top getting a bit crispy and brown.
