Fannie Farmers Classic Mac and Cheese

I found this recipe a couple of years ago, and so I don't have a link to share with you. I LOVE mac and cheese, so I am always on the look-out for homemade recipes. I think that this is the most delicious one that I have tried to date. When I first tried it, I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. :) Its a little bit of a difficult recipe, but I think that its worth it in the end!!

Ingredients:
About 8oz elbow noodles
4 Tbs butter
4 Tbs flour
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
1/2 tsp of salt (I would put more in, but as Brett keeps telling me - I have a salt problem!)
Black pepper to taste
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400
1- Cook elbow noodles as usual, drain and set aside.
2 - Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour, salt, and pepper then stir with a whisk.
3 - Add the milk and cream, stir.
4 - Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and stir for 10 more minutes.
5 - Add the cheese, stir for 5 minutes.
6 - Take the sauce off the heat and toss with the cooked elbow noodles.
7 - Transfer to a buttered baking dish (I would use a 9X9 for 8 oz of noodles)
8 - Bake uncovered for 20 minutes

Warning: This is NOT healthy (if you haven't already figured that out!) so I would serve it with broccoli or something of the like to compensate for all of the cheese grease that you are going to consume :)

Happy Eating!
