Homemade Mac & Cheese

This is an AMAZING recipe! B made it a couple of weeks ago for a small dinner party and it turned out great! I made it as part of our Easter dinner and that's when I realized I need to post the recipe...so here it is!

1 lb. medium shell pasta (or pasta of your choice)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 ts. garlic salt
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cup milk
16 oz. Velveeta cheese

Cook pasta and drain.

In a saucepan, melt butter and add flour. Whisk for approximately 3 minutes on medium heat to cook out the taste of flour. Flour should turn to a light brown. Add seasonings. Whisk in cream and milk. Keep stirring and bring back to a boil to thicken. Takes about 5-10 minutes to thicken.


 Add Velveeta. Stir with spoon or whisk until cheese is melted.




Pour sauce over drained pasta, then put in 9X13 glass pan.



Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until it just begins to brown, but do not overcook.


*I got this from our super talented cook at Girls Camp last summer. Girls kept coming back for days to see if there were leftovers that they could have. It's a winner!
