Cheesy Mac N Cheese [taste of tuesday]

I've been wanting to make homemade mac n cheese for a longggg time but I've never gotten around to it. Last night I finally went for it! This stuff was so yummy & it really wasn't all that hard to make. It probably took about 45 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients:

via

• 16 oz macaroni pasta
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 1/2 cups milk, warmed
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1/2 lb Velveeta, cubed
• 1/2 lb cheddar, cubed

• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 tbls parsley
• 2 tbls butter, melted

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350* F & Boil your pasta for 2 minutes less than the directions suggest, drain it & set it aside

2. In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter, salt & pepper. Once melted, add flour, stir & cook for 1 minute. (this is what it will look like after)

3. Add milk & wine & bring to a boil, whisking.

4. Cut up cheeses into cubes.

5. Add the cubed cheeses & stir vigorously until melted

6. Add pasta & cheese sauce to a greased 9 x 13 pan & mix

7. Combine the bread crumbs, parsley & melted butter in a small bowl

8. Sprinkle the crumb topping on the macaroni & bake uncovered for 20 minutes (the original recipe suggested 30 minutes, but I found that to be too long. I believe 20 minutes would be much better!)

Voila!

Now I'm off to drool over everyone else's recipes!
