Macaroni and Cheese

There are so many recipes out there for mac & cheese. I just wanted one that would make The Boy happy and hubby and I too. Honestly, we normally would just buy the big family size Stouffer frozen tray, cook it, put it in the crockpot & serve that at the parties. And then of course, everyone would want the recipe, because afterall, this is the house that cooks great food! Ha. I had this recipe. Then I lost it. For like, months. I was frantic. Couldn’t find it again anywhere on the internet (that’s how I know there is a gazillion recipes out there). Then this morning, pulled out a stack of recipes to go through and purge and ta da!!! So here you go. Enjoy. NOTE: this recipe is doubled here as I didn’t think it made much halved.


4 cups of dry macaroni
6 tbs margarine
6 tbs flour
2 cans of evaporated milk
6 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp dry mustard
Grated parmesan cheese
Cook pasta. Drain and put back in the pot. In separate large pot, melt margarine. Add flour and stir constantly til absorbed. Gradually add the milk, stir until mixture is thick and coasts the back of a wooden spoon. Add about half the cheese and all the spices, stir til cheese is melted. Add pasta and mix til all is coated. Divide mixture into two 9 x 13 pans and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese. Place under broiler and broil til cheese is melted and lightly browned. Be sure to keep an eye on it though as brown to burnt happens within seconds.
