tuesday dinner

overdressed salad with homemade croutons, homemade french dressing and overcooked green beans alongside homemade macaroni and cheese....this is my plate over peppered!!!

 

mac and cheese recipe from side of barilla box....but I used cheddar cheese not fontina

 

8oz dry pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 onion

1 tablespoon flour

2 cups milk

1 cup 1/2 and 1/2

8 oz cheddar cheese

 

soften onion in butter in the bottom of a large saucepan....then add flour and cook for one minute, then add milk and mix continually while bringing it to a boil, then add 1/2 and 1/2 and dry uncooked pasta, stir well, when it returns to a boil, put the lid on and cook about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, when pasta is done to your liking, add cheese stir and remove from heat, stir well letting cheese incorporate...then put the lid on and let sit for about 5 minutes, add salt and pepper as your taste dictates

 

I let it sit for about 2 1/2 hours and then reheated, since boy was out playing....when i reheated it I lost some to the sticking to the pan, mess to clean

Done
