Recipes - Homemade Mac and Cheese



Homemade Mac and Cheese (Used Pioneer Woman Recipe)

Need:
2 cups uncooked elbow pasta
1/8 cup flour
3 spoonfuls of butter (tablespoon)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbs mustard
1 cup milk
1 egg

Directions:
Cook elbow pasta el dente. Pre heat oven to 350. In sauce pan melt butter on medium-low heat.  Slowly whisk in flour and mix on medium-low heat for 5 minutes.  Pour in milk and whisk for an additional 5 minutes.  Sauce should thicken. Whisk egg in separate bowl and use 1/4 cup of mixture to beat into egg (careful to not let it cook the egg).  Pour egg mixture into sauce and add cheese to melt. Add mustard. Add salt, pepper, and season salt to taste.  Mix together cheese sauce and pasta and put in a casserole dish, sprinkle a little cheese on top (bread crumbs would be good too) and bake for 18-20 minutes.
