Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-1/2 cups milk
  • 2-1/12 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated (reserve 1/2 cup for the top of the casserole)
  • 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 pound of elbow macaroni cooked al dente
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs optional
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan melt the butter and stir in the flour, salt, mustard, and pepper. Add the milk little by little and stir constantly until thick. Slowly add the cheeses until they melt. Pour the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce and scoop into a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top of the casserole followed by the breadcrumbs.

  2. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese bubbles around the edges.
  3. This recipe is perfect to take in a thermal cooker (after baking) to a family reunion. It will stay hot for several hours.  Be sure and have the recipe ready to hand out to the family. I promise everyone loves homemade mac and cheese.
