Mac and Cheese Please!

Mac and Cheese Please.

The urge comes over thekitchenman to have a family favourite. Mom would go to the market and get fresh brick and aged cheddar cheeses. A portion would be used for a mac and cheese casserole. Simple when you take a sauce pan on medium heat and add 2 tbs of butter and 2 tbs of flour to make a roux. About 5/6 minutes to cook the flour and get a nice brown colour. Now add a cup of cold whole milk stiring in to the roux till well blended. I greated about 250… grams of white cheddar cheese and about 50 grams of imperial cheddar to get the deep colour and sharp cheddar taste. 1 1/2 cup of elbow noodle. The pasta I choose is Barilla from Ontario because I found it has the best starch content for these types of casseroles. When the casserole is cooled it can be cut into portions and char broiled, grilled or pan fried for a great side or a meal with a salad. I served a simple baked herbed flat bread and a oil and vinegar tossed garden salad. Yum
