Getting There


Well, after much frustration I think I figured out how to change the background on my blog. Whew! who knew that that would be so difficult. Problem was I was using an old version if IE.
Had a pretty uneventful weekend but did make some delicious Mac 'n Cheese for dinner on Saturday night. I always vary it up depending on what cheese I have in the fridge. This one contained Cheddar, Colby/Jack and some Mozzarella.

My basic recipe for the cheese sauce is:
6 Tbs butter
6 Tbs flour
3 Cups milk
2 Cups grated cheese (any variety)
Melt butter in large pot and add flour. Wisk until combined and cook for about 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. I add salt, pepper, dehydrated onions at this point. Wisk in the milk, bring to heavy simmer and cook until thickened. Take off the heat and stir in the cheese. I add about 1 lb of cooked pasta (eblows are traditional)to this sauce, pour into 13x9 baking dish and sprinkle with some additional grated cheese. Bake 30 min at 350 until hot and bubbly.
Delicious!
