Feb. 23, 2006 - Homemade Mac-n-Cheese

This is the ULTIMATE comfort food! Easy, cheesy and so delicious! I have some baking in the oven now for lunch and thought I would share the recipe.

2 T corn starch

1 t salt

1/2 t dry or prepared mustard (optional) - I use Dijion

1/4 t pepper

2 1/2 c milk (at least 2%)

2 T margarine

2 c grated cheddar

2 inch chunk of Velveeta

1 3/4 c (dry measure) elbow macaroni, cooked and drained (This amount of macaroni will give you a soupier man-n-cheese. I add more like 2 1/2-3 cups dry measure.)

1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir in milk. Add margarine, stirring constantly, bring to a boil over med-hi heat and boil one minute. Remove from heat.

2. Stir in cheddar and Velveeta until melted.

3. Put cooked macaroni in greased 2-quart casserole and pour cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with extra cheese, or breadcrumbs (adds a nice crunch) if desired.

4. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes at 375.

On my blog you asked if you could use the same idea for the women of your church. Of course!!! The talk on friendship is so very good!

Now I think I may have to go post my mac n cheese recipe on my blog- I find I like different ones at different times but my husband only really loves one recipe. Thank goodness it's the easier of my two favorites :D
Thanks for your kind words over at my blog! I actually happened upon your blog last week sometime, thinking you were my buddy Angela from www.blesseddesigns.net (lovely new line of nursing clothing patterns from a SAHM!) but was delighted to find another nice Angela instead!!
Blessings!
