I would like to double this receipt, how long should I cook? -
Hello Douglas, I am trying to recreate a recipe from my childhood. Yours is the very closest I can come . In my minds eye I can see my Aunt Doris and my Gram making this . I have a very clear memory of them adding flour after the elbow were tossed in butter then tossing the elbow in the flour then adding the cheese and milk . Are you familiar with such a recipe?thanks Kathy -
What kind of milk are you using for this recipe -
Do I bake covered or uncoveref

Wonderful Mac & Cheese recipe!!! For me this is a total comfort food and really hit the spot for our lunch. I made a scaled back version to serve the two of us. But when the kids are home for the holidays, will make the full version and this time shred my own sharp cheddar cheese (don't think the bag of shredded cheeses tastes the same). Like CharlotteJ stated, very simple, but to me simple is best most of the time!! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC Fall 2012. -
This is my Mom's recipe to a 'T' and for years I have tried to make it exactly as she did.....NOW I have the recipe. The best comfort food in the world. It is simple to make - fixed half just now and it's perfect! Cooked 50 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I could not be happier. <br/><br/>There is something wonderful in finding a recipe that tastes just exactly like it did as a child.<br/>ahhhhh

Comfort food from my child hood, I have tried many recipes and this is the one! I subbed half cooked cauliflower for cooked macaroni, forgot the butter and it was still wonderful!

I think out of the 3 mac and cheese recipes I made, this on is my favorite. Very simple and tasty. I did not think there was not going to be enough cheese but it was just perfect. Made for My-3-Chefs June 2012 -
