Homemade Mac-n-Cheese


In large pot, fill 3/4 full with water. Bring to boil. Add 1 pkg. large macaroni pasta and cook according to instructions on package.

In the meantime:

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp. flour and stir until blended. Season with salt or garlic salt and pepper. Heat over medium heat until bubbly and lighly browned--if your patient enough. Stir in 1 C. milk and mix with a small whisk until smooth. When mixture is hot again, add 1 1/2 C. grated cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Thin with additional milk, if desired. :)

When pasta is done, drain. Rinse very briefly with cold water so pasta won't stick together; drain again. Stir in 1 Tbsp. butter into pasta, add cheese sauce from above. Serve.
