Recipe

Description
Why make mac and cheese from a box when it's so easy and quick to make homemade? It tastes so much better and you know exactly what goes into it.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. macaroni, dry
- 1 1/2 c. whole milk, divided
- 2 T. all-purpose flour
- 2-3 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 t. onion powder
- 1/4 t. dry mustard powder
- kosher salt, to taste
- white (or black) pepper, to taste
- optional cooked stir-ins: ham, peas, mushrooms, sausages, bacon, broccoli
Steps
- Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat; add macaroni; cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain; set aside.
- Whisk ½ c. milk with flour until completely dissolved; set aside.
- Heat remaining milk in a large saucepan over medium heat; don't let milk boil. Just as milk begins to steam, whisk in the milk/flour mixture; whisk or stir until liquid thickens to the consistency of heavy cream, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add cheese to saucepan, a handful at a time, stirring until combined with milk.
