The “only and the best” mac-n-cheese we serve in our home. Forget the ingredients you can’t pronounce, once you try this, you’ll never go back to the box. It is easy, quick and you know my favorite word…cheap. Although there were a few years where this meal was too expensive because of the dairy products, but Junie solved that one.
For as long as I can remember I have been served or preparing this dish. Another beauty passed down from my mother and I am pretty sure this recipe may predate her cooking years. It has been served at more birthday dinners in our home than any other meal.
Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese
- 8 C dry macaroni(or shells), cooked
- 1 pkg all beef hot dogs, sliced thin, fried if you like‘em that way
- 1/2 C butter
- 4 C milk
- 3/4 C flour
- 4 C grated cheese(save a little for topping)
- salt and pepper
Boil macaroni. Make a white sauce(melt butter, stir in flour until bubbly, slowly add milk using a whisk, stir constantly until simmer. Simmer for 1 min) Remove from heat and add grated cheese to white sauce until well blended. Mix cheese sauce, hot dogs and cooked macaroni all together. Sprinkle with cheese, paprika and a little parsley. Bake in a large baking dish at 350 degrees for 40 min or until bubbly. Serves 10-12.
Serve with a side of fresh steamed broccoli and thenb stir it all together(if you allow your portions to touch each other)……ahhh bliss.
