Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter/margarine
  • 6 tbsp regular flour
  • 800 ml milk
  • 1000 grams macaroni
  • 1 Roughly 200-300g of grated cheese. I used gouda
  • 2 packs of melting cheese. I use Kraft singles with cheddar. There are 10 slices/pack.
  • 1 Salt
  • 1 Peppar
  • 1 A dash of turmeric for colour (optional)

Method

  • Melt your butter/margarine in a saucepan.
  • Once it has melted, take it off the heat and add your flour.
  • Whisk it gently into a kind of thickening paste.
  • It should NOT be like a dough.
  • If it is, add some more butter or margarine until you have a smooth and sticky paste.
  • Add the milk, and put your saucepan back onto the heat.
  • Whisk continually or it will burn.
  • Do this until it thickens.
  • Lower the heat significantly and add your melting cheese.
  • If you add it all at once, it might be difficult to stir properly, so add a bit at a time.
  • Once you have added all your melting cheese, add the grated cheese and stir until you have a smooth (and cheesy!)
  • sauce.
  • Boil your macaroni according to the instruction on the box.
  • Season your sauce with salt and peppar, and some turmeric if you want for colour.
  • Drain your cooked macaroni, and then add it to your cheese sauce.
  • Once it is stirred in completely, serve immediately.
