Awesome Mac 'n Cheese

Perfect for any party, virtual or real life. Serves 4-6.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 3/4 cup milk
8 oz. cheese of choice (cheddar is my fav!)
salt and pepper

Instructions
  • preheat oven to 400 F/200 C. Grease a baking dish that is oven safe.
  • bring large pan of salted water to a boil. Stir in the macaroni and boil for 2 minutes less than package directions.
  • meanwhile, melt butter in pan. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly.
  • return pan to heat until simmering. Stir in cheese and seasonings, stirring until smooth.
  • drain noodles when ready. Add to sauce and stir together. Spoon into prepared dish. Sprinkle top with bread crumbs.
  • bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • enjoy!
