Macaroni and Cheese
This is one of my top three comfort foods.
Ingredients
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces sharp cheddar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon dry mustard
dash cayenne
2 bay leaves
4 ounces cavatappi pasta
2 tablespoons flour
paprika
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Start water boiling for pasta.
Mix together the dry milk, water, and Worcestershire sauce and set aside.
Grate the cheese and set aside.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain.
While the pasta is cooking, in a one-quart casserole, add the butter, onion, salt, pepper, dry mustard, cayenne, and bay leaves.
Cook and stir over medium heat until onion is slightly tender.
Blend the flour into the onion mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Add the milk mixture in several additions, stirring out lumps each time.
Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir one minute. Remove from heat. Remove bay leaves.
Stir in cheese. Add drained pasta and mix well.
Top with paprika.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
