Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for topping, optional)

Instructions:

Start off by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the cheddar and mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if you like a little kick!
Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until fully combined.
If you want that crispy topping, pour the macaroni and cheese into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, then bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Once done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. That’s it! Dive into this creamy goodness and let it take you back!

So there you have it! A simple yet oh-so-delicious way to capture the essence of those vintage food packages through your cooking. Enjoy every bite!
