Macaroni & Cheese

Here is the macaroni & cheese recipe that my brother learned how to make in Grade 8 Family Studies.  Bill used to make it for us when we lived at home.  He has never forgotten his cooking skills and now uses them to make meals for his own family.   I make this recipe every year for my family for Easter.

375 ml elbow macaroni

45 ml butter

45 ml flour

500 ml sharp cheddar cheese (grated)

550 ml milk

1.      Cook macaroni following package directions.  Drain.  Set aside until later.
