Easy Cheesy Mac & Cheese
Ingredients
1 package (16 oz) elbow macaroni (we used Gluten Free)
1lb (16 oz) sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (4 cups)
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (we used Gluten Free)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground mustard
2c milk
1 ½ Tbsp butter, cut into pieces
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray or grease a casserole dish or a 9x13 pan.
Cook macaroni as directed on the package in salted water until tender, drain.
While macaroni is cooking, combine 2 and 1/2 cups of cheese with flour and ground mustard.
In a large bowl, combine cheese and flour mixture with hot macaroni and stir to combine. Pour into the greased pan. Pour milk over macaroni (do not stir), top with remaining cheese, dot with butter and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 45 minutes (remove foil after 30 minutes, if desired). You want to make sure most of the milk has been cooked away - poke a knife in the middle, if necessary. Some will soak in as it cools but it should be mostly absorbed.
If you would like a crisp top, broil on high for 3 minutes (or until desired crispness).
(Optional) Add buffalo sauce, extra seasonings, top with fried onions / corn flakes / crushed crackers, diced jalapenos or tomatoes!
