Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients:

8 oz dried macaroni noodles
5 tbsp butter
6 tbsp white flour
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1.5 cups cheddar cheese
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
salt & pepper



Directions:
Cook macaroni according to directions until al dente. Drain. Melt a small amount of butter and mix with noodles to prevent sticking. Cover and set aside.


Melt 5 tbsp butter, add flour and stir over medium heat for about 30 seconds being careful not to brown. Add milk, whisk until mixture thickens. Add nutmeg, salt & pepper, reduce heat to simmer. Then add cheese, stirring until melted.


Toss mixture with noodles, adn place in a 3 pint casserole dish. Top with breadcrumbs. (You can split into two for smaller portions).


To eat right away or freeze: bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.


Jen's Notes: I made this for Matt & Krissy after Aila was born. I don't think I got to try it myself but they said it was delicious. Will have to remember this one come cooler weather.
