Macaroni Cheese Recipe

	Bestcooker / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago My husband came up with this recipe in an attempt to duplicate the delicious Macaroni and Cheese we had at Noodles & Co. We think it's pretty close, if not right on! Since making this, we can't stand the stuff in the blue box! Prep:5m Cook:15m Servings:2	Bestcooker

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

3/4 cup milk

1 cup shredded Mexican-style Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese, divided (NOT the kind with the spices in it)

Additional shredded cheese

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook macaroni according to package instructions until just underdone and not quite al dente (it will stand up to the sauce better). Drain pasta and let it sit in the colander while preparing next step.

Over low heat, melt butter in the same saucepan used to cook the macaroni. Return pasta to saucepan and stir, coating well with the melted butter.

Add milk and, stirring constantly, heat through, about a minute.

Add 1/2 C. cheese, stirring constantly, and cook until cheese melts and is well incorporated. Add remaining 1/2 C. cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese melts. Mixture will continue to thicken as it cooks. When it reaches desired consistency, immediately serve in pasta bowls. Sprinkle additional cheese over tops of servings.
