Watch us make this recipe!

So macaroni and cheese is one of those classic recipes. Rather if it’s a dish that you are adding to your holiday menu, Sunday dinner or just because it’s just one of those feel-good comfort foods.

This recipe was made with a made from scratch cheese sauce. We’re using a blend of Sharp and Monterey jack cheese, for a nice balance of strong and mild cheese.

You will need:

Large Macaroni noodles
Sharp cheddar cheese
Monterey jack cheese
Whole milk
Heavy cream
Flour
Butter
Salt
Pepper

Steps to make this recipe:

First, boil the macaroni noodles until al dente. Then, melt your butter in a medium-size saucepan.

Once the butter is melted add the flour to the pot and whisk it together with the butter.

Once blended, add the heavy cream to the pot and whisk together. Then add the milk to the pot whisking the ingredients together.

Once the ingredients begin bubbling together add one cup of Sharp and one cup of Monterey jack cheese to the pot.

Blend the ingredients together stirring frequently until the sauce begins to thicken.

Once it has thickened, immediately remove it from the heat.

Then grease a 3 qt. pyrex dish with butter.

Rinse and drain the noodles and add them to the pyrex dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the noodles and mix together.

Add the remaining cheese over the noodles spreading evenly.

Cover the dish with foil and bake the macaroni for about 45 minutes.

Remove the foil from the macaroni, turn on the broiler for a few minutes to brown the macaroni. Remove from the oven and serve!
