Baked Macaroni And Cheese Recipe?
Filed in Category Cheese Recipes
Ok, I am just looking for the traditional recipe for baked macaroni and cheese. I dont want a recipe with any extras like onions, eggs, meats or anything like that. I know what I need to make mac & cheese, I just need the proper amounts for every ingredient. I will be using elbow macaroni, sharp cheddar cheese along with monterey jack cheese. I know I need butter, milk and flour for the sauce and some dried mustard, salt & pepper to taste. Does anyone just do this simple recipe and if you do, can you give me the proper amounts for each ingredient??
Thanks!

8 ounces macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 tsp dry mustard
3 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.
In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses and mustard, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.
Listen, it’s really easy! Make a simple white sauce and mix it with your favorite cheeses, and noodles, and throw it in the oven! I also recommend basil, thyme, and rosemary. You just have to eyeball, it hon, it’s easy. Rachael Ray does it ALL THE TIME.
This dish takes no time at all and very little ingredients

The flour is overkill on the starch in your dish. Everything else is good. All I do is make the cheese cream in a separate pot seasoning to taste. In another pot you make the macaroni. Try not to overcook the macaroni because it will get enough cooking when you bake it. once you cream and you macaroni is ready you put them together in a baking dish and mix them together a little then put the whole concoction into the oven and bake til the outer edges are turning brown. You put addition cheese on top just before the baking process if you like it real cheesy. Then you are ready to enjoy.
