August 7, 2016
Always a family favorite, macaroni and cheese is the classic comfort food that’s easily prepared!
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 35 mins
- Yields: 4-6 Servings
Ingredients
8 oz. Mueller's Elbows
2 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3 cups milk
2 tbsp butter or margarine
2 cups shredded American or cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
1Preheat oven to 375°F.
2Cook pasta for only 6 minutes. Drain well.
3Combine cornstarch, salt, dry mustard & pepper in medium saucepan. Over medium-high heat, stir in milk until smooth. Add butter, stirring constantly.
4Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil 1 minute.
5Remove from heat. Stir in 1-3/4 cups cheese until melted. Add cooked pasta.
6Pour into greased 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
7Bake uncovered 25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165-175 degrees.
Cook’s Tip
Sprinkle bread crumbs or crushed salad croutons on top of the cheese for a more traditional, crunchy macaroni and cheese.
Stir bacon, diced ham, or other add-ins into the mixture before transferring it to the casserole dish for a twist on a classic.

This is the recipe my mother used to make mac n cheese. She would add a can of flaked tuna for a Friday night dinner when Catholics were not allowed to eat meat on fridays. It is delicious.

Muellers pasta isn’t available where we live now but I remember what a good recipe this was so I searched for it and I quadrupled the recipe for a large family gathering. I’ll be surprised if there is any left.
