Well, my mom let me make Christmas dinner this year! It was so fun! We did some steak sandwiches, bruschetta, broccoli, and mac n cheese and it was all so great. The down-home mac was a hit! I did make some changes from original recipe but not many, it was straight forward and delish!
What you'll need:
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni noodles
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 1/2 cup milk
1 sleeve Ritz crackers
1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions with a tbsp of oil in the boiling water and a tsp of salt.
2. In a large pot melt butter over medium heat then add flour and wisk together. You will have a clumpy flour mixture. Continue whisking for about 3 minutes to cook the flour then add the milk and whisk in the flour mixture until you have a smooth, thick sauce.
3. Now add in your Velveeta cheese and shredded cheddar and stir until the cheese are melted in. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir in pasta until it is all coated in the cheese sauce.
4. Put mac in a greased baking dish and crush up Ritz crackers in a thin layer over the top of the mac. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the mac is bubbly and the top begins to brown.
So I think the only changes I made were that I added cheddar cheese into the cheese sauce and omitted it from the topping. Super simple, really good. Perfect for a dish to pass and great for family dinners.
