Mac N Cheese to Die for =)

So, after last nights horrible chicken marsala disaster I decided to bounce back and try yet another recipe. So what was on the menu tonight? Mac n cheese... no it's not Kraft macaroni and cheese, it's homemade and I have pictures to prove it!

And here's the recipe. It was so good that I had to share it with everyone. The following recipe serves about 2 people (large servings)

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/3 cups 2% milk
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
Directions
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt, mustard and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Reduce heat. Add the cheeses and Worcestershire sauce; stir until cheese is melted. Fold in macaroni.
Pour into a 1-qt. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.

And here's the pictures


See I really did make it and it wasnt out of a box



Mmm... Mmmm... =)



And the final product:




So for those of you who enjoy cooking, this was quick and easy and really good!!
