Real Mac & Cheese

3 cups macaroni

1/2 cup of butter

6 tbsp white flour

2 cups of milk

1 tsp salt

3 cups grated cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Grate the cheese and divide into two amounts: a 2 cup pile and a 1 cup pile. Cook your macaroni as normal, strain the water, put back into the pot and put aside. In a medium pot melt the butter. Add the flour all at once whisking briskly, keep stirring for at least a minute. Now gradually add the milk with one hand while still whisking with the other. The sauce will become thicker. After about 5 minutes, stir in the 2 cups of cheddar cheese, and the tsp of salt. Once the cheese is all melted, pour the cheesy mixture over the macaroni in the pot, combine well. Pour into a 9x13 buttered casserole dish, and sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

Serve with a nice big green salad so you don't feel so guilty!!

Enjoy!
