How to prepare macaroni and cheese?(Recipe)

By Cookrecipetips
To make macaroni and cheese, you will need the following ingredients:
- 8 ounces (about 2 cups) of macaroni noodles
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 cups of shredded or grated cheese (cheddar is commonly used, but you can use any type you prefer)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Here's a step-by-step guide to making macaroni and cheese:

1. Cook the macaroni noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Once the butter has melted, add the flour to the saucepan and whisk until well combined. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

4. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. This should take about 5 minutes.

5. Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded or grated cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Add the cooked macaroni noodles to the cheese sauce and stir until they are evenly coated.

8. Cook the macaroni and cheese mixture over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

9. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken before serving.

10. Serve the macaroni and cheese warm, and enjoy!

Feel free to add any additional ingredients such as cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top before baking, depending on your preferences. 

Simple and smart
