Creamy Two Cheese Macaroni
Creamy Two Cheese Macaroni - Light Recipe Submitted by: Robin
This was really good "comfort" food, the only thing that I would add is more salt.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided
6 oz. light process cheese, cubed (Velveeta Light)
6 cups hot cook elbow macaroni (about 3 cups uncooked)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat; add flour. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook until thick (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in macaroni and salt.
3. Spoon the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 9 servings size 2/3 cup
