Baked Mac & Cheese


While making this for lunch today I realized that I have never posted this recipe. I have been making this recipe for years and absolutely love it. We don't make it often, maybe only once or twice a month, but it is a good one. It takes more time to make than a box of Kraft, but I promise you won't be disappointed!


Enjoy!


Baked Macaroni and Cheese


2 cups elbow noodles

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp ground mustard

1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce

2 cups milk

Dash ground nutmeg

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese


Preheat oven to 350.


Cook noodles according to package directions; set aside.


In saucepan, melt butter. Add flour, salt, pepper, mustard, and worcestershire. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Add milk and nutmeg; heat to boiling. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cheese until melted.


Mix macaroni and cheese sauce. Pour into 2 qt baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
