My Favorite Mac and Cheese

I love macaroni and cheese that is made from scratch and not a box. My daughter prefers the other way around so I do not make this very often. When I do, this makes a large batch and I freeze in smaller batches so that I can enjoy it whenever I feel the whim.
Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni shopping list
- 2 T. unsalted butter shopping list
- 1 pound sharp cheddar cheese shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 2 c. milk shopping list
- 2 c. heavy cream shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add salt and macaroni and cook for 4 to 5 minutes (until the macaroni is half cooked). Butter a 3-quart baking dish, add 1/3 of the cooked macaroni and then layer the cheese, salt, and pepper; repeat this until the elbows have all transferred. Pour the milk and heavy cream over the macaroni. Cover the macaroni and cheese with tinfoil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the macaroni is brown and bubbling on top.
