Amazing Homemade Mac and Cheese

This is such an easy recipe that is so good. It is great for both kids and adults. Much better then the boxed stuff.

What you need:

•  3 cups dry pasta
• 4 T butter
• 4 T flour
• 1 t salt
• 1/2 t pepper
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded mild cheese

What you do:

1. Cook pasta. Drain and set aside. 
2. Melt butter in sauce pan
3. Whisk in flour, salt and pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes.
4. Whisk in milk and stir until it starts to thicken(2-3 minutes)
5. Reduce heat to simmer. stir in cheese.

This is a thicker sauce. If you want it thinner after you mix in pasta just slowly add in milk until it is the texture you like.
