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.
