Mac and Cheese

One of my favorite dishes of all time is mac and cheese! This is because my mom would make it for me all the time. Whether she made it from scratch or used Kraft Mac and Cheese it was always delicious! From time to time when I am lazy and hungry I will make myself a pot of Kraft Mac and cheese. It is one of those dishes that I can make whenever I want and I never seem to get sick of the taste. For me, it is a comforting dish that reminds me of my childhood. I hope you enjoy my recipe to mac and cheese!

Ingredients: 
1 pound Macaroni
2 cups milk
4 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Meanwhile melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. 




In the microwave heat up the milk for about a minute and a half or until the milk is hot. While whisking the rue slowly add the milk and continue to still until the rue dissolved in the milk and the sauce is thick. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the sauce and mix until the cheese is dissolved.
