A special thank you for our fellow WTE mommy Rikas2ndBaby for contributing this recipe!!!
Mac n Cheese
4 tbl butter
4 tbl flour
4 cups of milk
4 cups of shredded cheese (your choice, I'm picky so I use all sharp cheddar)
1 box of pasta (I use raditore because it's easy for DS to eat)
Bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese to top
I like to make this a one pot meal so I make my pasta, and then just rinse out the pot to make the sauce, but I've also made the sauce while the pasta cooks.
Melt the butter over med-high heat, and then stir in the flour. Keep stirring and try to get all the lumps out for 2 minutes.
Whisk in the 4 cups of milk and stir frequently for 5 minutes.
Slowly (like 1 cup increments) stir in the cheese, add more when the cheese melts into the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss. Add to a greased casserole dish and top with bread crumbs and parm cheese.
You could just freeze it unbaked, and add it to a greased casserole dish and bake at 425 for 45 minutes or until bubbly. Or you could bake it at 400 in the greased dish, have some ahead of time, and freeze the leftovers.
HTH!
Hi! It's gretchbaby from the April wte boards and was wondering how long can you keep this frozen in your deep freezer? Thanks in advance!! This mac-n-cheese sounds amazing!!! Thanks for posting it!!
ReplyDeleteI pulled that comment from the WTE board.
ReplyDeleteOk, I went and searched through a few of my books, and it looks like as long as you properly wrap/package the mac n cheese it will last for 6 months in the deep freeze. I would recommend only 3 months in a regular freezer though.
