Flo’s Mac and Cheese

A Family Favourite passed from generation to generation!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups macaroni noodles
• 1 package Old Yellow Cheddar Cheese (approx. 270 g.) – shredded
• 2 rounded Tbsp. margarine (plus a little extra for greasing casserole dish)
• 2 rounded Tbsp. flour
• 2 cups 2% milk
• Croutons to cover

Method:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add macaroni noodles. Cook 8 to 9 minutes until soft but still firm, al dente. Rinse with cold water and drain very well.
2. Prepare sauce by melting butter in saucepan; using a whisk, mix in flour, and then slowly add milk, mixing with whisk until it thickens.  Add about half of the shredded cheese and continue to whisk till smooth.
3. Grease an 8×11 in. casserole dish with margarine. Add 1/2 of the macaroni, followed by 1/2 of the cheese sauce. Add the rest of the macaroni followed by the remaining cheese sauce. There should be lots of liquid.
