Simply Creamy!!

 

Homemade Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat elbow macaroni (2 cups)
  • 1 3/4 cups low-fat milk (or unsweetened milk substitute)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons of margarine
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

 

Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender.
  2. Melt margarine and add flour until it's smooth.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 cups milk in another large pot over medium-high heat until just simmering.
  4. Add warm milk a little at a time into the flour mixture, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in Cheddar cheese until  melted and creamy. You can return to stove to melt on very low heat and stir continuously until melted.
What do you add to your mac and cheese??
