This recipe did not blow me out of the water, but I used milk instead of sharp cheddar. I think that if I used sharp, it would give it more flavor. So I am going to save this recipe for the sake of its potential. This recipe is also found on Allrecipe.com. Here
Mac N' Cheese
8 oz. uncooked elbow macaroni
2 c. shredded sharp Cheddar
1/2 c. grated Parmesan
3 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
2 1/2 T flour
2 T butter
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 pinch paprika
1. Cook macaroni. (Duh)
2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. (I misread the ingredients list and only used 2T butter at this point instead of the full 1/2 c.) Add milk to roux, stir constantly. Stir in cheeses and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick.
3. Put macaroni in large casserole dish and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet and add breadcrumbs. Brown (I ran out of bread crumbs, so I shredded some homemade artisan bread and browned them. They were delicious). Spread over the macaroni and cheese, then sprinkle on paprika (I forgot this. No wonder there wasn't a lot of flavor).
5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
I will try again and hope for a little more flavor. My bad.
