Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can never have enough cheese, and I usually add an extra 1/2 cup without ruining the recipe.

Keep a careful eye on the milk when boiling, as milk boils fast and burns easily. Burnt milk will show up in the recipe's flavor if overcooked.
