Cooking your own soul food macaroni and cheese will get you way more praise than preparing the kind that comes in the box. Don’t get me wrong, I have those days when there is just too much going on and I will cook Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and dare anyone in my family to complain but, when I do make this macaroni dish, they really appreciate it and me!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 cups of milk
1/4 pound velveeta cheese, cubed
1/2 pound extra sharp cheese, shredded or cubed
2 cup of uncooked elbow macaroni
Directions:
1. Boil 4 cups of water and add 2 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni. Continue to boil uncovered for 6 – 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Since you will come to a point where you will have to move quickly to avoid burning your dish, I would go on and dice my cheese, if necessary, measure my milk, flour, and salt. Preheat oven to 350.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter.
4. Add flour and salt. Stir continuously for about a minute.
5. Add milk slowly while stirring.
6. Now you can add your diced extra sharp cheese and Velveeta processed cheese.
7. Stir until the cheese is well blended with the flour and milk mixture.
8. Add cooked elbow macaroni to the cheese mixture and mix well.
9. Grease your baking dish, (I use butter).
10. Pour in your macaroni and cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
