Easy Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

Print Recipe

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese that is quick and easy to make…and even easier to eat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 Tablespoons/1 Stick of butter
  • 1/3 Cup Flour
  • 1–2 Cups Milk (depending on how loose you would like your Macaroni and Cheese to be! – I start with 1 cup and add as needed as I go.
  • 4 Cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Dash of hot sauce to taste
  • 1 pound of pasta of choice

Instructions

  1. Boil pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized pan, melt butter completely over low heat so as not to burn.
  3. Add flour, salt, and pepper into melted butter and raise heat slightly.
  4. Stir mixture until flour is completely dissolved and looks like a light roux. Flour taste will be cooked out and thickened.
  5. Gently add 1 to 1 and 1/2 Cups of Milk (I use 2% but this can be really decadent and add 1/2 and 1/2 if you want) and stir.
  6. Slowly add shredded cheese to the mixture and melt until creamy and smooth.
  7. Combine pasta and cheese sauce until thoroughly combined.
  8. If you would like to add additional milk, hot sauce, etc. at this point, this is the time!
