Have you ever been on a hunt for something, but can't seem to find it despite attempting so many times? My youngest loves mac and cheese, I mean absolutely loves it. She could eat it everyday for the rest of her life and be happy, as long as she has some sausage to go with it. I have tried recipe after recipe and she likes them, but I have get to get a love from one of them. Hopefully one of these days I will find one she loves, but for now I will take like and her going back for seconds.
Southern Baked Macaroni and Cheese

- 4 cups uncooked elbow pasta
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325º F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large pot cook the pasta according to the package directions, but cook 1-2 minutes less than al dente. Drain well.
- In another large pot, over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, and continue to whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the black pepper and paprika.
- Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking constantly. Add in 3 cups of shredded cheese and continue to whisk until the cheese has melted and sauce has thickened.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the cheese on top is completely melted and browned.
- Allow the macaroni and cheese to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!!!
