Helen’s Mac and Cheese-Helen Horton

4 T butter or marg

4 T flour

2 c milk

2 c grated cheese, cheddar or whatever you have

4 c elbow macaroni or cork screws

Lawry’s seasoned salt

Pepper

Put a couple quarts of water in a pot and bring to boil.  Add macaroni and stir.  Once the water comes back to a boil turn heat to simmer until mac is al dente stirring occasionally.  Drain water.

While cooking, in a sauce pan, melt butter then add flour and stir and cook for a minute or so to cook off raw flour taste.  Pull off the heat and very slowly at first, add the milk until thoroughly combined.  Use a whisk to ensure there are no lumps.  Put back on the heat and stir contantly until it boils and thickens.  Add the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. 

Add the cheese sauce to the mac, stir and serve. 

This is one of Dallin’s favorite dishes.
