This is just a simple macaroni and cheese recipe made from scratch. I like to top my mac and cheese with sweet Italian sausage or white mushrooms before loading it with even more cheese and baking it in the oven

Steps

20 mins

1

Boil 24 oz of pasta of your choice (i used penne rigate) and drain and set aside. Make a roux with 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour. Slowly add in warm milk and whisk slowly. Add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of cracked black pepper.
2

Slowly stir in cheese and melt into a creamy sauce
3

Add pasta and carefully stir everything together. Pour into two seperate baking dishes and sprinkle with remaining cheese. (I sliced some sweet italian sausage and topped one dish with it and sprinkled cheese. I also sliced up some white mushrooms and topped the other dish with it and sprinkled cheese as well)
4

Toss your mac and cheese (or mushroom & sausage mac) into a 400°F oven for 20 minutes until bubbly golden brown!
