I have never met a person that didn’t like good ol’ macaroni and cheese. Growing up, mom always made Kraft from a box. I wanted to try to make things from scratch so I could feel good feeding it to my young children. This is a family favorite in our house.
Ingredients:
1 pound pasta (We like shells, but any shape could work.)
1/2 pound cheddar cheese
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter (Margarine is fine.)
1 teaspoon black pepper (More or less according to taste.)
1 teaspoon salt (More or less according to taste.)
Directions:
1. Boil a large pot of water, add uncooked pasta, turn burner down to medium heat, stir occasionally until pasta is tender.
2. Grate cheeses, mix them together.
3. Drain pasta and place into a large mixing bowl.
4. Add cheese (reserve 1/4 of the cheese for the top), milk, salt, pepper, and butter, stir well.
5. Pour the pasta mixture into a baking pan. I like to spray the pan with a little cooking spray, but it is not necessary.
6. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place into a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to cook the top until it is golden brown.
