Directions
Old Fashioned Elbow Mac & Cheese,I’ve not seen any recipe like this here. Mom used to make it, and it is divine comfort food; chunks of cheddar and a basic Bchamel sauce, topped with buttery bread crumbs, make for an amazing dish! **Bchamel sauce technique updated, thanks Noo for pointing out the error.**,Thank you so very much for posting this!! Ive been looking for a recipe like this for 20+ years ever since I made an unforgettably good casserole. Foolishly I did not save the recipe. I think it came from A very old version of the Fannie Farmer cookbook that I no longer have. I made this and it received rave reviews and had the texture and flavor I remember as being so great from many years ago!!,I halved the recipe and kept the measurements proportionate. used shredded cheese for ease, and found that this seemed to work. Loved the white sauce….almost let it get too thick. 🙂 Only thing I might change is to leave the breadcrumb topping off….I think I’d rather just enjoy the creaminess without the crunch! Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2011 tag.
