Baked macaroni and cheese recipe?!


Question:

Baked macaroni and cheese recipe?

Ok, I am just looking for the traditional recipe for baked macaroni and cheese. I dont want a recipe with any extras like onions, eggs, meats or anything like that. I know what I need to make mac & cheese, I just need the proper amounts for every ingredient. I will be using elbow macaroni, sharp cheddar cheese along with monterey jack cheese. I know I need butter, milk and flour for the sauce and some dried mustard, salt & pepper to taste. Does anyone just do this simple recipe and if you do, can you give me the proper amounts for each ingredient??

Thanks!


Answers:

8 ounces macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 tsp dry mustard
3 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.
In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses and mustard, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.
