Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients:

3 teaspoons butter

3 tablespoons corn starch

2 cups of 2% milk or whole milk

1/2 stick of orange sharp cheddar cheese grated

1/2 stick of Vermont white cheddar cheese grated

1 teaspoon of ground mustard spice

salt and pepper

2 cups macaroni pasta shells

Directions:

Over medium heat, whisk together the butter and corn starch until thick and combined. Add the milk and whisk. Add the ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly bring to a boil while continuously whisking. Boil for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Allow the milk mixture to cool for 1 minute before adding the cheese, whisk to melt. Never add cheese to a milk mixture that is still cooking, the cheese will separate.

Cook shells according to package directions and drain. Combine cheese mixture with shells in a large bowl and stir. If it is not creamy enough, add a little more milk and stir. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Optional: top with crushed crackers, shredded cheese or cornflakes before baking.

Optional: play with your cheese, substituting a half stick of jalapeno jack cheese will add a bit of spice and flavor to the dish.
