Simple Macaroni and Cheese

A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

Recipe Summary

Prep:
10 mins

Cook:
20 mins

Total:
30 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredient Checklist

1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Instructions Checklist

Step 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Step 2 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour milk into butter-flour mixture while continuously stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese to milk mixture and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 3 Fold macaroni into cheese sauce until coated.

^ You can't beat Cheddar cheese!

**aging one** · 21-07-2020, 07:50 AM

Yes, that is a nice simple one. The cracked black is very important I would think.

No you can't. In regard to why American cheese looks orange/yellow...

Why Is Cheddar Cheese Orange Sometimes? | Bon Appetit

I buy a lot of imported British and Irish cheese but it gets expensive, so I still need to buy American orange colored cheddar from time to time.

That is because you are not American. That mac and cheese is something we grow up with and if you take issue with the BBQ chicken then we have a problem.

What, so it doesn't look like something that should be checked with a fucking Geiger counter?

Don't get me started on English "cuisine".

At least I am on record as saying it is something I only eat twice a year.

**armstrong** · 21-07-2020, 03:05 PM

Anything that yellow has to be delicious.

**NamPikToot** · 21-07-2020, 03:07 PM

I am sure you have and if there is anyone that should not be taking potshots at peoples food aside from Chitty it sure as shit should not be you with some of the abominations you have posted.

**NamPikToot** · 21-07-2020, 03:13 PM

Aw sorry Princess, it was a joke but i can see its an issue dear to you heart - i apologise.

Well nobody has to really, do they?

But whenever you post up something with less nutritional value than the packaging it came in it's a winner because it's a timeless American classic

Mc & Cheese the ultimate comfort food. Memories of Lunch at the high school cafeteria.

Also make it a couple of times a year and thinking of it I am well overdue.

Well, for me it was "macaroni cheese", and yes, a staple when I was growing up (home made of course). I have been thinking of giving it a go soon, even orderd some macaroni.

Not so many vegetables, that's for sure... but plenty of fruit (or so she tells me).

Chicken and rice, fish and rice, omelette and rice... with a smattering of Western dishes.

Re Armstrong's comment, I was thinking the same.

In our home, while the Boys are young ...
Chicken and rice, omelette and rice... with a smattering of Western dishes, chicken nuggets and chips being the #1 request.

mendip ... where will this memory lane of food come from?

And my personal favourite ... the O₂

I mean ... the little lassie will miss Dad's grub

**Chittychangchang** · 23-07-2020, 10:37 PM

Mini Mendip is definitely going to miss her daddy.

Lamb stuffed with Rosemary and garlic then wrapped in foil to cook in it's own juices slowly, just gone into the oven..

**NamPikToot** · 23-07-2020, 10:48 PM

Nice, not had a lamb joint in yonks, low and slow for a shoulder - we'll see the finished result after closing time Chitty

**Buckaroo Banzai** · 24-07-2020, 01:11 AM

Coong Pad with rice.

I thought I had resolved the picture issue by disabling mu Ad blocker but apparently not. The TD picture Hitler is back and he says

**NamPikToot** · 24-07-2020, 01:35 AM
