Macaroni and Cheese

I made this! Be impressed, it is from scratch thanks to Briana's recipe. It was awesome!

I am not claiming this to be the healthiest dish in the world but it makes a lot and it was so tasty!

Ingredients

1lb of pasta

4 Tbsp butter

1/3 cup flour

4 cups milk

salt & pepper

dash of hot sauce

1/2 cup grated American cheese

3 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in flour to form a paste. slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, constantly stirring over low heat, until sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese until blended. Butter a 4 quart baking dish. Layer pasta, remaining cheddar and American cheese and sauce. (we had 3 layers) Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Bake 30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown around edges.

We added Emeril's chicken apple sausage (found at Sam's club) in ours, just cut into quarters and cooked ahead of time. It was so good!
