Macaroni & Cheese
- 16 oz macaroni noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 3-4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1.In large pot melt the stick of butter.
- 2.Once butter is melted, slowly add flour and stir to create a roux.
- 3.After butter and flour are mixed, stir over medium heat for one minute to let flour and butter settle together.
- 4.Slowly add 1 cup of milk at a time. I say 3-4 cups because I never fully measure it out, you don't want it thick and you don't want it to be extremely runny so watch the consistency before adding the final cup of milk.
- 5.Stir in milk and turn up heat to med-high, just until sauce is thick and bubbly.
- 6.Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese.
- 7.Once cheese is incorporated, now it's time for your secret weapon!!
- 8.Add the sour cream but make sure your heat is not on! It will curdle if the sauce is too warm and you don't want that!
- 9.Once you've made the sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
- 10.Mix in cooked macaroni noodles.
- 11.Add to a greased 9x13 pan.
- 12.Top with remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- 13.Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until cheese has melted on top.
- 14.Enjoy
