Sometimes less is more with our meals. I love mac and cheese. It was always a favorite of my son's as well. I made it often. Baking it, homemade, is taking it to another level.
I always enjoy this baked macaroni and cheese. It’s a little bit chewier, with lots of great cheddar cheese flavor, and I love the way the top gets crispy in the oven.
Plus it’s so easy. You just boil pasta, mix with grated cheese (any cheese you have on hand), a couple tablespoons of flour, and seasonings, put it in a casserole dish, and pour the milk over it. That’s it. No messing with white sauces or tricky steps.
This will be dinner this evening. I am also cooking green beans mixed with ham. And bread to toast as well. Garlic bread toast is another favorite. It goes with many of my meals. Enjoy your evening everyone.

I like homemade mac and cheese. I made some a while back, but I made too much for one person and ended up throwing a bunch of it away. I would have frozen it, but the freezer is pretty packed.

@CarolDM I don't like to keep things more than a week or so in the fridge..it can pick up bacteria.

It's been a while since I have made homemade mac and cheese. But when I was growing up, I was the "official" mac and cheese maker for holiday meals. My family really liked the way I made it. Not bragging but I have to admit, I was pretty good!

@CarolDM - Indeed! Have you seen some of the TV chefs do like a "gourmet mac-n-cheese"? Like instead of using cheddar they use gouda or some sort of gourmet cheese. Have your ever watch Tyler Florence? That guy makes the "ultimate" of everything!!! I used to watch his show when I had cable TV. I don't get to watch it any more. But I loved him! You should see his "ultimate mac-n-cheese". It'll make you drool!

@CarolDM thanks for the compliment Carol. I don't know about being an excellent cook but I do enjoy cooking and am all into comfort food and easy preparations.
I learned how to make Mac % cheese from my aunt so I think of her every time I make it.

@Marilynda1225 I always think of my mom and grandmother when I cook as well.

@CarolDM I'm kind of lazy when it comes to cooking these days. When I play "good pirate" with the kids (a role I enjoy), I bring macaroni and cheese to their ship (the play structure). I have discovered that kids like the mushy inside more, while I go "aargh" and eat the slightly burnt crunchy crust on top.
