Preparation

Step 1

1
Preheat oven to 205°C.

2
Cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside.

3
In a large saucepan melt butter.

4
Add flour mixed with salt and pepper, using a whisk to stir until well blended.

5
Pour milk and cream in gradually; stirring constantly.

6
Bring to boiling point and boil 2 minutes (stirring constantly).

7
Reduce heat and cook (stirring constantly) 10 minutes.

8
Add shredded cheddar little by little and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
9
Turn off flame.

10
Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.

11
Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish.

12

13
Bake 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.

(You can also freeze this recipe in zip-lock bags for later use - once you have mixed the macaroni along with the cheese sauce allow to cool to room temperature before adding to your freezer - I generally pull it out the night before and allow macaroni and cheese to reach room temperature; I then add the macaroni and cheese to a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs and then bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and bubbling.
