Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

 
Last week one of my colleagues informed us that during the heat wave he would be bringing in homemade ice-cream cake for the team.  I was ecstatic and immediately decided that we need to have a meal to go with it!  I decided to opt for Macaroni and Cheese – an easy comfort food!  I am pleased to report that the mac and cheese (and yummy ice-cream cake) was a big hit!
Ingredients:
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine
  • ¼ cup flower
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz Velvetta pasteurized prepared cheese product – cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Bread crumbs or crushed ritz crackers
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Melt 3 Tbsp butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in flour, cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk and cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Add Velveeta, cook 3 minutes or until melted, stirring frequently. Stir in macaroni.
  • Spoon into casserole dish (spray with non stick cooking spray), sprinkle with cheddar cheese, remaining butter and sprinkle cracker/bread crumbs on top
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until heated
  • Enjoy!!
