I have been waiting to try out the Mac and Cheese recipe from my new cookbook and last night I finally made it. The recipe and ingredients were quite simple. American cheese, cheddar cheese, flour, butter, onion, black pepper, milk and of course cooked pasta. The recipe called for melting the butter and then cooking the onion in the butter, then adding milk and the flour stirring till it thickens. The thickening part never happened but the milk did start sticking to the pan, thus I decided to add the cheese and not wait for the thickening. Once I added the cheese it melted nicely, I let it cook for a few minutes and then mixed the elbow maccaroni in with the cheese and into the oven it went. This was the finished project. The prep and cooking were easy however I was left with a big pile of dishes. Overall I would make this recipe again, but I would use half and half instead of milk.
