Hey guys! Ready to make some ooey-gooey, cheesy magic in the kitchen?
Let’s dive into the ultimate comfort food—Traditional Mac and Cheese! This recipe is super easy, cheesy
cheesy, and will have you coming back for seconds (or thirds!). Let’s get started! 😋
Ingredients:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni (or any pasta you like)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (the cheesier, the better!)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional but adds a kick!)
2.Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir it up to make a roux (fancy term for thick paste). Keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
3.Add milk: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking. Keep stirring until it starts to thicken—about 5 minutes.
4.Cheese time! Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Watch it melt into a dreamy, creamy sauce.
5.Mix it all together: Pour your cooked pasta into the cheese sauce and mix it until the macaroni is fully coated with that cheesy goodness.
