Who doesn't love Mac N' Cheese as a kid? But once you get older it's just not the same. You wish it were because how easy it is to make, but no, it's gritty and the second it's not hot it's time for the garbage!! Here is a great recipe for it. It takes a bit longer to make than the box kind but it is so worth it. This dish also is great reheated the next day!
Macaroni and Cheese
40 minute Side Dish 10 minutes prep, 40 minute cook time Serves about 8
1 16 oz. box Elbow Macaroni (get the smaller kind, not large)
8 oz. Velveeta or Other "Cheese Food"
4 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese
4 oz. Muenster Cheese
4 oz. Sharp Cheddar
1 pint Half and Half
1/2 stick butter
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot, heat water to boil and add pasta. While this is cooking, heat the half and half.
2. While waiting on the above, grate the Monterey Jack, Muenster and Sharp Cheddar. Cut the Velveeta into small pieces.
3. When the cream is hot, slowly add the Velveeta Once it has all melted add the shredded cheeses slowly until well melted in.
