This is my mom's homemade mac and cheese recipe which I prepared Sunday night. I love it when I'm sick, or when I just need a little extra TLC time.
Mom's Macaroni and Cheese
- Mix together 4 TBS. butter and 2 TBS. corn starch with a wire whisk in a medium-sized pot
- Cook and stir on medium heat until bubbly
- Add 2 C. (or so) of non-fat milk*
- 2 C. grated Tillamook mild cheddar cheese
- 1/4 to 1/2 C. of Parmesan Cheese
- 1 TBS. mustard
- Stir until your hand falls off, or until the sauce thickens enough to where it looks like cheese sauce
*At the same time that you add the milk, cheese and mustard, put a pot of water on to boil, then when the water is at a rolling boil, add macaroni noodles, a little olive oil and a pinch of salt. After eight minutes or so, test a noodle to ascertain if they are cooked enough. When the noodles are done, strain them into a colander and rinse them to get the excess olive oil off. (Nobody likes greasy noodles!)
- Pour noodles into a casserole dish and generously drizzle the cheese sauce over them
- Stir gently to coat every single noodle with optimum amount of delicious sauce
- If you're like me, add an extra schpritz of mustard and maybe some canned tuna and then go watch the Oscars (or what ever it is that you do) whilst you enjoy your comfort food masterpiece
Well folks, there you have it. More recipes to follow. =)
