Mac & Cheese

So we had a rugby potluck last night and I decided to make mac & cheese, its super easy to make and very delicious! Usually we have so many cheesy pasta dishes, but last night there was quite a good spread! I didn't get a picture of the mac&cheese all baked and gooey on top, but I got one just before I put it in the oven.

Recipe:
Start off by making the roux, which is a butter and flour mixture that thickens sauces. Melt 6 tbsp butter in a saucepan then add 6 tbsp flour and whisk for about a minute. Then slowly add 3 cups of milk. Let the white sauce simmer for 5 minutes until it gets nice and thick. Add your favourite cheese, 2-3 cups worth. Then add sauce to cooked pasta and mix in a casserole dish. Top with a layer of cheese and bread crumbs and cook at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins. Enjoy!
