Mennonite Macaroni and Cheese

I got this recipe from my friend Ann Marie. This is my favorite mac and cheese. Sometimes I find homemade mac and cheese too rich. This is just rich enough without making me queasy.


I do not know the story of why this is Mennonite mac and cheese - presumably it came from a Mennonite.


Ingredients

• 2 tbs butter
• 2 cups noodles (anything will work - elbow is traditional)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (again anything will work - cheddar is traditional - I use the bagged Mexican blend)
• 4 cups milk
• 1 tsp kosher salt (this makes a difference)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven 325
2. melt butter in microwave in 2 quart glass baking dish
3. mix butter and noodles in dish
4. add cheese, salt and milk
5. stir well (this is important so it doesn't separate - even if it separates it still tastes good!)
6. bake for 1 1/2 hours
7. Enjoy!
