Homemade Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni

• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 3 cups milk

• 1/4 cup butter

• 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs (or ritz crackers)

• 1 pinch paprika

Directions

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 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. Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.

Cut up leftover hotdogs for extra credit.
