Why Everyone Loves Yummy Mac and Cheese

So, if you’re wondering why everyone loves this dish; it’s simple. If you live in the South, it’s often a staple and can be found as a spicy side pasta dish. In the Northeast, it is often referred to as a casserole. And in the Midwest, it is known as a hotdish.

At the same time, this is super easy to make. All you need are the following ingredients:

Macaroni
2 1/2 cups of Cheddar Cheese
One Tablespoon of Organic Flour
2 Tablespoons of Light Butter
2 cups of 1% Milk
1/4 Tablespoon of Black Ground Pepper
A pinch of Sea Salt

First, cook the pasta. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and the cheese. Cook until there are no lumps. When cooked, add the milk, ground black pepper, and sea salt.

Also, I recommend topping your dish with some plain bread crumbs.

Bon Appetite!
