Macaroni and Cheese

"Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni!"

Macaroni + Cheese

2 cups elbows pasta

1 ½ cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

2 cups milk

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 tbsp flour

2 tbsp butter

Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside.  In medium sauce pan melt butter, stir in flour until smooth.  Pour in milk all at once and stir constantly over medium heat until it starts to thicken.  Add cheese and stir until melted.  Combine with macaroni and broccoli.  Place in lightly greased glass baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake 350° 35-40 minutes until bubbly and top is golden brown.  Serve immediately.  We have ours with pig ears, AKA fried bologna.
