My friend Bree gave me this recipe. It's her family's recipe and it's SO good. It's fast and easy and everything you want in a creamy, super cheesy, mac n' cheese.
1lb. short cut pasta (my kids love small shells)
1 stick butter
1/3 cup flour
3 1/2 cups whole milk
1lb. shredded sharp cheddar (make sure it's sharp!)
salt and pepper
Prepare the pasta in salted water according to the box directions and drain.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute.
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly.
Simmer for a few minutes until the milk mixture begins to thicken.
Add the cheese and stir until completely melted.
Add the pasta and mix until every piece of pasta is well coated in the cheese sauce.
Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.
*If you have any leftover ham from a holiday, cube it up and throw it in there. Yum!*
