Directions

To begin making Homemade Macaroni And Cheese Recipe, first place a saucepan on the heat.
-
Warm the milk over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Do not let it come to a rolling or vigorous boil, and take it off the heat before.
-
In a separate heavy bottomed pot melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture turns light brown. This will take 3 to 4 minutes. Take it off the heat.
-
Next, slowly pour the warm milk little by little into the butter flour mixture, while whisking constantly. The mixture will get thinner, but keep whisking.
-
Once all the milk is added and whisked well, set the pot back over medium high heat and continue to whisk.
-
It will take about 2 to 3 minutes for the sauce to come together and become silky and thick. At this stage, add salt and stir once more.
-
Meanwhile cook the pasta in salted boiling water, according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse the pasta.
-
Add the cheddar cheese to the prepared sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until cheese is melted.
-
Next, add the cooked pasta and stir until the pasta is hot and steaming for another 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls.
-
Serve Macaroni And Cheese along with some Garlic Bread as a comforting winter meal.
