How to make creamy mac and cheese

Pre-step

Get out a medium stockpot and fill it halfway with water and salt and set it to boil.

Once the water comes to a boil add 1/2 pound of elbows and cook for 8 minutes.

Also preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – elbows, flour, butter, cheddar cheese, Velveeta cheese (egads, I love that stuff), milk and Ritzcrackers for the topping.

Step two

Get a medium sauce pan and melt 1/2 cup of butter. When it’s melted, whisk in some flour.

Step three

Add milk and stand there and whisk constantlyuntil it thickens.

Add 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar and 1 pound of Velveeta, that has been cut into cubes.

Step four

Drain the elbows and place them back in the potyou used to boil them.

Step five

Pour the cheese sauce on top of the elbows and mix themall together. Once the elbows are covered with the cheese sauce, transfer it to a medium casserole dish.

Look at how cheesy this recipe is!

Step six

Crumble at least eight crackers onto the top of the cheesy goodness.

Now, you can use more crackers if you like or less. Just go by your mood and your taste buds!

Step seven

Bake it for 35 minutes until it’s nice and bubbly.

I gather some soy honey wings and some sautéed kale to plate with my mac and cheese.

Let’s take a bite.

I hope you enjoyed this creamy mac and cheese recipe as much as my family does.
