Introduction

Ingredients
-
1 bag Enriched egg noodles (16 oz)
8 tbsp butter
8 tbsp flour
4 slices each of swiss, american, muenster and cheddar cheese (appx 1 oz per slice) or 1 lb shedded mixed cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Optional Panko Breadcrumbs (to top)
Directions
Boil salted water for noodles. Cook noodles per package directions.
While noodles boil, Create a bechemel (white suace) sauce by adding equal parts flour and butter (a roux)to a sauce pan. Cook on low heat until the butter is completely melted and the flour is cooked (cooking the flour gets rid of the raw flour taste int he sauce) - about 5 minutes. Do not let the roux brown (still edible, not very pretty in mac & cheese).
Add milk slowly. Cook over medium heat until sauce begins to thicken. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you do not like pepper flecks in your cheese sauce, use white pepper.
Mix noodles and cheese sauce together, and put in a lasagna pan. Top with handful of Panko breadcrumbs.
Bake at 350 until top is crusty, about 45 minutes - an hour.
makes 16 servings. Freezes in portions extremely well.
