Macaroni and Cheese

This isn't one of the fancy Mac n' Cheese with 6 or 7 cheese; this is the Mac n' Cheese that I made for my boys when they were growing up. This has 2 cheeses, American and Cheddar. See, not sophisticated, just a simple recipe that everyone will love! When I made this for my boys I used Velveeta.....Yes!!! Haha! Still do and you can too!
Perfect comfort food! Great by itself, or a side dish with main course comfort foods like fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken fried stead.....You have to try this!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups elbow macaroni (I like the large)
  • salted water
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 1/2 cups milk (I like to use whole milk in recipes)
  • 2 cups american cheese or Velveeta, diced
  • 1 cup cheddar, grated (medium or sharp)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • buttered bread crumbs, optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook macaroni in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.  In the meantime, melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the flour, making a roux.  Cook for a minute or 2 to get the raw flour taste out.  Add the milk and whisk together to insure no lumps.  Bring to a boil and thicken the sauce.  Add the cheese  and stir until melted.  Check for salt and pepper.  Add the cooked macaroni and combine.  Transfer to a buttered casserole or individual casserole dish.  I add buttered bread crumbs and place under your broiler just to brown on the top.!! Serve immediately or can be frozen for later.
