Homemade Mac and Cheese

Here's tonight's dinner for the family! Homemade Mac and Cheese...
This is a really easy dish and it is very economical. It takes no time to
prepare and it is not from a box.

1pkg of Cream cheese

2Cups of milk

1 tsp Dijon Mustard ( i use the grainy one)

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (you can use mild or medium)

2 tbsp flour

1/4 cup of butter

salt and pepper

package of Penne noodles

For the topping:

3 tbsp melted butter

1/4 Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (don't use plain too boring)

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in heavy pot. Whisk in flour till smooth.

On medium to low heat whisk in milk then add cream cheese, Dijon mustard,

salt & pepper

whisk till cream cheese has melted and no lumps.

Turn off heat and add grated cheese into melted sauce. Stir

till completely melted.

Cook Penne noodles according to package directions

I want to note here that I use Penne noodles

because they are so wonderful in holding

the delicious sauce inside. When you bite into

the noodle you get a burst of sauce

Make topping

Melt 3 tbsp butter

Add 1/4 Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Mix well

Once noodles are cooked add

them to the pot of sauce

and stir till all is nicely mixed.

Grease a casserole dish

add noodles and sprinkle

breadcrumb mixture to the top.

Bake in 400 degree oven

for 20 minutes only

Easy...simple...yummy!!

Enjoy!!
