Easy Mac and Cheese

By Addie

Ingredients

• Water
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni or small pasta shells
• 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or American cheese
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground mustard (I had to talk her into putting mustard in!)
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Fill a 3-qt saucepan about half full with water. Bring to a boil. Add pasta to water.

Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon. Drain pasta (put a colander in the sink and pour the pasta into it). Put drained pasta back into saucepan. Add butter, milk, cheese, salt, mustard, and pepper to pasta.

Stir with spoon until mixed. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times, until cheese is melted. Makes 4 servings.
