Super Easy Homemade Mac & Cheese

Super Easy Homemade Mac & Cheese - someone on the Grand Rapids Nest board

3/4 box of macaroni
1 pound Colby Cheese (or almost any kind of cheese!)
1 can evaporated milk
1 heaping tablespoon flour
salt and pepper to taste

Cook mac and set it aside. While mac is cooking cut up cheese in cubes (just enough to help it melt fast.)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan mix flour and milk (remember to keep stirring so it doesn't burn) to thicken. Once you notice that when you stir you can see the bottom of the pan for a split second you're thick enough. Add in cheese a handful at a time until melted. Add in pepper and salt and anything else that sounds good.

Mix cheese mixture in with the pasta. Pour in to sprayed casserole dish. Bake at 350 for about 45-55 minutes (until the top looks nice and browned).

You can add ham, sausage, onions, other seasonings, etc...as liked!
