If there’s one dish that makes its way across countless dinner tables and sparks nostalgia from the first bite, it’s the classic baked mac and cheese. Whether you’re cuddling up on a winter night or just need that food hug after a long day, this gooey cheesy delight is almost always the answer.
Now, I’ve been in two minds about sharing my personal recipe with the world because, let’s face it, the universe isn’t exactly short of mac and cheese versions. But, every family has its secret twist, and today, I’m letting y’all in on mine!
: It can be intimidating, like trying to find the perfect pair of jeans. But hang tight, because I’m about to make this as easy as pie (or should I say… cheese?).
Start by boiling and draining your pasta.
For the cheese sauce: Melt butter, add flour, and whisk in your milk.
Cook this sauce until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Stir in your choice of shredded cheese.
Mix the sauce with your pasta and layer it in a baking dish, ensuring a generous sprinkle of cheese in between and on top.
Bake and prepare for a trip to cheese heaven!
