Macaroni & Cheese Recipe (Makkaroni und Käse Rezept)

Mac'n'Cheese is one of the most popular dishes in the US - strangewise it has not reached Europe yet.

Well, I like it very much, cause it's easy, you don't need much and it's very tasty and filling. You should definitely try it out, especially when you have kids. They love it.

Macaroni & Cheese for 4 (610kcal per portion)



350g cooked macaroni (or other short noodles)
20g butter
2tbsp flour
200ml milk
300g cheddar cheese
salt, pepper and nutmeg to your taste (nutmeg is optional)

1. Cut cheese into 1cm cubes. Let milk stand for a while, so it gets room temperature.



2. Now we need to make a roux and you need a big pan or pot (everything has to fit in). Melt the butter over medium heat. While stirring (you gotta keep stirring!!) add the flour little by little. When it's all "sweating" (that's means the colour keeps white til cream coloured and small bubbles are developing) add the milk and stir. When you're getting clumps while stirring, take the pot of heat.
3. Reduce to very low heat and add the cheese. Stir well until there are no more cheese clumps.




4. Add the macaroni and mix well, so that everything's coated.

Enjoy your meal!
