Macaroni Cheese
Soul Food (Comfort Food) at it's best

I suppose there are some people who don't like macaroni cheese but to tell the truth I haven't come across any.

There are many different versions of this soul food, which mainly center around the cheese (sauce) aspect or adding sliced tomato to the top cheese layer before baking.
The recipe given here is for the more traditional with no extra trimmings as it were.
INGREDIENTS
250g (8oz) macaroni cooked as usual

¼ cup butter
¼ cup plain (all purpose) flour
3 cups milk
2 cups shredded tasty cheese
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup matured (sharp) cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup breadcrumbs

METHOD
Melt the butter in a large pot and blend in the flour. Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly until you have a thick smooth white sauce (NO LUMPS ALLOWED :) )
Stir in salt, pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.

Add grated tasty cheese to sauce and stir until cheese is melted.

Add cooked, drained macaroni to cheese sauce and combine well.

Place the mixture in a 20cm (8”) square baking dish and sprinkle the top with shredded matured cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake in a pre-heated 180°c (350°f) gas mark 4 oven for 15-20 minutes.

Makes 4 good sized portions. Sit down, get comforted with this version of a great soul food, classic Macaroni Cheese at it's best
