Classic Macaroni and Cheese-
There is nothing that is more of a comfort food than Macaroni and Cheese. Not Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or Velveeta shells and cheese, but actual home made mac and cheese. I Love Cheese!! There is nothing better- every kind, every texture, cheese is just delish!!!!
Recipe
8oz Elbow Macaroni or Penne
3 1/2 cups of cheese ( I use a combination of Swiss Cheese, Gruyere and Cheddar Cheese)1
1 1/2 cups of Milk
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter melted
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
Cook pasta to al dente
While pasta is cooking heat milk and butter in sauce pan add mustard powder and cayenne pepper. Slowly start to add 3 cups of the shredded cheese in batches; making sure cheese is melted before adding next batch. Add cheese mixture to cooked pasta-mix well and pour into greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
For topping add 2 tablespoons melted butter to 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and sprinkle on top
Bake at 350 degree for 30 minutes- then place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes
ENJOY!
