Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir noodles so they don’t stick together while boiling. I add a dash of salt to help.

In another pot I add 1 stick of butter and put the burner on low to melt the butter.

Once butter is melted, add the flour and whisk the butter and flour together.

Slowly pour in milk the butter and flour mixture whisking to rid of any clumps, and make a gravy. (I like a thinner gravy consistency so I may add more milk)

Add salt and pepper to the gravy and whisk.

Drain noodles in a strainer and place in a large baking dish.

Pour the gravy mixture all over the noodles

Take a cup of shredded cheese and add to the noodle and gravy and mix together well.

Top the noodles with shredded cheese about a cup or so. (I use maybe 2 cups. We like it super cheesy)

Pop the Mac & cheese in the oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted or longer, if you like it more “crispy”
