Jana’S Homemade Mac And Cheese
- 4 cups elbow pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 4 cups skim milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion flakes dried
- 4 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 3 Italian breadcrumbs tbps
- Preheat your oven to 350u0b0F.
- In a large pot, cook pasta as directed until al dente. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat up the butter in a large saucepan*. As the butter melts, add the flour and whisk until a rue forms. Slowly stir in milk. Add paprika, black pepper, and onion flakes. Bring to a slight boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should thicken a bit as it cooks.
- Turn off the heat and add 3 cups of the grated cheese. Stir until cheese is about melted. Add the pasta to the milk and cheese sauce mix. Stir until the pasta is all covered; you should be able to hear the elbows filling up with liquid as your stir.** Once you've mixed the pasta and sauce, add the remaining cup of cheese and gently fold it in. Sprinkle the top of the mix with the breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, uncovered. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
