Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (7 ounces)
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded or cubed Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
Directions
- 1 Heat oven to 350ºF.
- 2 Cook macaroni as directed on package.
- 3 While macaroni is cooking, melt butter in 3-quart saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, pepper. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constanly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted.
- 4 Drain macaroni. Gently stir macaroni into cheese sauce. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly.
And this is just the beginning! While stirring the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, try adding sliced ripe or green olives or bite-size pieces of cooked vegetables, hot dogs or cooked sausage, COOKED CRISPY BACON, or drained albacore tuna. Mix cheeses, try pepper jack, swiss, sharp cheddar.
Add a 4-ounce can of chopped green chilies, drained, for a perked-up version of mac and cheese.

I might have to try that, my husband loves Mac and cheese, I can never go wrong serving him comfort food. We recently went to a restaurant that specializes in Mac and cheese. It was really good, and I liked that they offered gluten free versions. My favorite was the dessert though, it was vanilla pudding with caramel sauce, it was to die for. It was nothing like the boxed kind you can buy in a store.
