If you're looking for some comfort food for these miserable winter days you can't go wrong with a bit of macaroni and cheese. Let's make some then!
Ingredients
8oz macaroni
8oz cheddar cheese (EDIT: On second thought, this is an illegal amount of cheese to be adding to this. :D You can totally cut this by half or maybe even three quarters without drastically impacting the flavour)
16 fl oz milk
2 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons butter
Method
- Cook the macaroni and drain it with a strainer. Press down on the pasta a little with a fork to get out more water if necessary.
- Grate the cheese and set it aside.
- Preheat the oven to about 180ºC/350ºF
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, mixing it into a smooth paste.
- Cook the mix for a few minutes, stirring to keep it from burning.
- Add in the milk and stir until the flour and butter paste is dissolved.
- Cook the mixture until it thickens. keep stirring it in case it starts to burn.
- Now, add in the cheese and stir the mixture until it's melted.
- Mix the cheese mixture and macaroni together in a suitably big casserole dish.
- Put the cover on the casserole dish and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Eat it, dammit! (EDIT: Ugh.)
