Homemade Creamy Baked Mac n Cheese
There are certain comfort foods that I could eat over and over, and homemade mac n cheese is one of those comfort foods. I grew up on homemade macaroni and cheese, never boxed. My dad makes the best macaroni and cheese with big chunks of cheese, lots of milk and butter. When I was on my own, it was one of the meals I made the most. It was simple, easy and cheap. Now that I am married and have kids, my children love homemade macaroni and cheese. I found this recipe years ago, and I have changed it around to our taste. My kids are now experts in making this meal. That's how easy and simple it is.
Different methods
There are different ways to make macaroni and cheese. At times we make it in a pan, cooking the noodles then adding chunks of cheese, milk and butter. Or like this recipe you can bake the macaroni and cheese. But I have found the key ingredient to a good tasting mac n cheese, is adding some ground mustard. Making a batch of mac n cheese, add some dinner rolls and a salad, and you have a complete meal.
