Corinne’s Mac & Cheese*

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons Flour
• 2 cups Milk or Half and Half ( I use Land o’ Lakes fake half and half)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 lb. macaroni (elbows)
• Approximately 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of each: cheddar, fontina, gruyere, grated Parmesan, and Velveeta
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

Preparation

1. Melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half and half little by little and then add cheeses. Cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Remove from heat, season w/salt and pepper. Mix with cooked pasta and put in a buttered casserole dish.

4. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
