Macaroni And Cheese/Comfort Food

When I was a little girl my mom and I would come to Utah to visit extended family. We would often go to Walgreen's across from Temple Square and have lunch. They had the best Macaroni and Cheese I had ever tasted. I have craved this comfort food recently and have tried to find recipe that might come close, this one was similar.

Macaroni and Cheese

4 T. butter
1/2 c. flour
3 c. milk
4 c. elbow macaroni, cooked
4 c. Cheddar Cheese
1 . Parmesan Cheese
2 c. breadcrumbs
1. 4 c. butter



Melt butter in a saucepan and add flour to thicken (a roux). Gradually add the milk to the roux and thicken to a Bechamel sauce, slowly add the cheese to melt. Add the cooked and drained macaroni to the sauce and mix well pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Melt the remaining butter and mix with the breadcrumbs and cover the the top of the macaroni. Bake at 350 for 30 mins. or until bubbly.



This can be made or a "Rainy Day." Simply freeze and the reheat at 375 for 50-55 minutes until heated through.
