Craving a comforting and cheesy dish that’s perfect for two? Look no further than this easy-to-follow Macaroni and Cheese for Two recipe! Rich and creamy, this classic dish is sure to satisfy your hunger and bring a smile to your face.
To start, you’ll want to gather your ingredients. You’ll need:
– 4 ounces elbow macaroni
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon pepper
– 1 cup milk
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Begin by boiling your macaroni noodles in a medium-sized pot until they’re al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Gradually stir in the milk and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens. Add in the cheddar cheese and stir until it’s fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Next, add the cooked macaroni back into the pot with the cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the macaroni is well coated in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to thin it out.
Spoon the macaroni and cheese into two serving dishes. If you’d like, you can top it with a little extra shredded cheese or breadcrumbs before you bake it. Place the dishes in the oven and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and the dish is heated through.
Take the dishes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Then, dig in and enjoy your delicious and indulgent Macaroni and Cheese for Two!
