Amanda’s Chesapeake Mac and Cheese
Makes one 9x13 pan. Servings: 8-10

Directions

1. Cook 1lb Macaroni pasta according to box directions. Drain. Set Aside. While waiting for water to boil, you can shred your cheese.
2. In a stock pot, melt ¼ Cup Chesapeake Gold Farms Sweet Cream Butter.
3. Add ½ Cup flour to the melted butter and whisk until fully incorporated into a roux.
4. Leave stove on medium heat and add the milk 1 cup at a time while whisking constantly. When 1 cup milk is incorporated, gets warm and thickens, then add the next cup of milk until all 3 cups are in the pot.
5. Add all of the shredded cheddar cheese and continue to whisk until smooth.
6. Add pasta to the cheese sauce and mix well. This will leave you with a perfect 9x13 pan of crabby mac and cheese.

3. Sprinkle on top of mac and cheese and bake 9x13 pan for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
