Dada’s Homemade Mac ‘n Cheese
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons of butter
4 Tablespoons of flour
2½ Cups of milk
1 Box of macaroni
1 Pound of Velveeta cheese
A dash of salt and pepper
Optional: Lil’ Smokies (cut into bite-sized pieces), diced ham, broccoli
Tools:
Large pot for cooking pasta
Saucepan
Large baking dish
Measuring cups and spoons
Whisk and large spoon
Large strainer
Aluminum foil
Directions:
1. Wash hands and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Boil water in large pot and cook pasta for 1 minute less than the box directs. I suggest the parent add the pasta and watch the water while you ask your toddler to cut the Velveeta into chunks. This is a very soft cheese and easy to cut with a butter knife. Optional: add broccoli to last minute of cooking. Drain pasta (and broccoli) into strainer (mom or dad’s job!)
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Whisk for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens. Depending on your comfort level, you can allow your toddler to whisk or keep working on dicing the cheese.
5. Continue whisking while you ask your toddler to hand you the cheese. Add a little bit at a time while whisking.
6. Place macaroni into your favorite ceramic baking dish and mix in cheese sauce. Optional: Mix in any additions like Lil’ Smokies (Dada’s favorite).
7. Ask your little fussy eater to season with salt and pepper, then cover with aluminum foil.
8. Bake for at 350 degrees for 30 minutes covered and an additional 15 minutes uncovered.
