There's nothing quite like creamy and cheesy homemade macaroni and cheese. I used cheddar cheese for this recipe but feel free to use your favourite shredded cheese to make it your own.
Ingredients
-
1 box of macaroni (or your favourite pasta)
-
½ cup butter
-
1 small onion, minced
-
1 heaping tablespoon flour
-
2 cups milk
-
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
-
Salt & Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Cook pasta according to the package instructions. Set aside when pasta is cooked al dente and drained.
In a large pot, melt the butter. Add onions, salt, and pepper, to the pot, and sauté until the onion is softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine.
Pour milk into the pot and whisk mixture. Heat until the sauce thickens.
Add the cheese to the pot and stir until melted. Add cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir well to combine.
Enjoy 🖤
