This is only the 2nd time I have made this but this time, I went on my own and tweaked it a little to make it my own version. I can honestly say it isn’t that much different than the first recipe that I made and I still like it but I think my hubby would prefer I used Velveeta cheese over any cheese at all…
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter – .15
3 tablespoons flour – .10
12 oz. can low fat Carnation Evaporated Milk – (got this for free when they were on sale at Kroger for .50 and there was a $1.00/2 coupon in the paper close to Christmas or Easter I believe so I needed to use it!!)
6 oz. Elbow Macaroni – .68 for 12oz at Kroger only used 1/2 the package so .34 cents!
7 oz. Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese – on sale for $1.88 last week at Kroger with the Mega sale
salt & pepper to taste
Boil macaroni in 6 cups of water until tender. Melt butter in skillet. Slowly add in flour, stirring well to form a paste consistency. Add milk and whisk to remove any lumps. Simmer on low heat, while stirring to thicken (about 2-3 minutes). Add cheese and mix well until melted. Rinse and drain cooked macaroni. Pour in to pan coated evenly with cooking spray. Pour cheese sauce over noodles and mix well. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
This reminds me a little of KFC Mac & Cheese when I used the Kraft Sharp Cheddar…
Total $2.47 (approximate)
Serves 6 to 8 generous portions
