Easy Mac and Cheese

I love mac and cheese it is my favorite go to easy comfort food.  I first made this recipe after getting sick of the blue box claiming its creamy and coming out runny and having wimpy noodles. After you make my recipe you will never buy the blue box again. 

Easy Mac and Cheese

1 12-16 oz curvy noodles (choosing a noodle with nooks and crannies will make the sauce stick to the noodles better) 

2 cups grated cheddar cheese 

1 cup whole milk

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

sea salt to taste

black pepper taste

dash of garlic salt

Use a large pot and fill with water bring to boil add pasta and season with salt. The salt adds flavor to the pasta.  while the pasta is cooking start the cheese sauce.  In a sauce pan on med heat melt the butter. when it is starting to get foamy mix in flour with wire whisk. Then when it's all mixed whisk in milk. If you follow these directions your sauce will be smooth not lumpy. add the salt, pepper and garlic salt and keep whisking slowly. Don't leave the pan stay with it because milk can burn very quickly if it is not watched! The sauce should start to thicken in about 3-5 mins or less. When it is getting thick stir in the cheese. Keep stirring till melted completely. when the pasta is done drain in a colander and stir the pasta in the colander to get out any water that is hiding in the crannies of the pasta. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. serve and enjoy! 

*For a heartier version many times i add ground beef or broccoli and cauliflower 

I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
