Traditional Macaroni & Cheese

A traditional recipe. There are many types of Macaroni & Cheese which have over time been adjusted to local tastes and individual preferences. Well, I thought starting off with the traditional one would be more fitting. Not those that you buy in a box and prepare but here's one of the recipes I had gotten from the internet.



Ingredients:-
  • 1 2/3 cups dry, small elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 2 tbsps cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsps butter or margarine
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

1.Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Grease 2-quart casserole dish.


2.Combine cornstarch, salt, mustard and pepper in medium saucepan. Stir in evaporated milk, water, and butter. Cook over medium-heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese until melted. Add macaroni; mix well. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and light brown.

It was simple and yet yummy!!! Cheesy and just yum. So, give it a shot!!!
