We love mac and cheese, but not all of the fat and calories, so I've been working on a lighter version and this is what I came up with. My DD loves this and she's picky about her mac and cheese. Ingredients:
2 cups elbow macaroni |
1 tablespoon light margarine |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 cups skim milk |
4 ounces 2% velveeta reduced fat cheese product (cubed) |
2 cups 2% cheddar cheese (divided) |
1 cup 2% mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to box, pour into colander and leave. DO NOT RINSE>.
2. Turn burner to med. Melt butter in pan, add flour and whisk together. Add milk and whisk constantly till warm and thickened. Remove from heat. Whisk in Velveeta, 1 cup cheddar and mozzarella, till melted and smooth.
3. Add macaroni to cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Heat oven to 350°F Pour mac and cheese into 2 qt casserole. Top with remaining cheese.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or till cheese on top is melted.
