ULTIMATE CREAMY MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is just an awesome recipe for macaroni and cheese. It was passed down to me by a friend of my mother's who was elderly at the time she gave it to me. She was in her 80's when she gave it to me and has since passed away. I'm so glad that I was able to get this from her because it's the best recipe for macaroni and cheese...

Steps:
- 1. Bring large pot of unsalted water to a boil and cook macaroni just until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water. Drain again and set aside. (I use unsalted water because cheese is naturally salty. You can always use a little salt once it is on your plate if it's not salty enough for your taste.)
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 3. Bring milk just to a boil in heavy saucepan (remove the second it starts to boil to prevent scalding) and set aside.
- 4. Meanwhile, melt butter in another saucepan and add flour. Whisk over low heat for 5 minutes. Do not brown.
- 5. Remove from heat and add hot milk to flour mixture. Whisk well. Add 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Return pan to heat. Cook over medium heat whisking constantly until thickened - about 5 minutes. Do not brown.
- 6. Remove from heat. Butter a 13 X 9 X 2 baking dish. Fill it evenly with macaroni and sauce.
- 7. Distribute the grated cheeses evenly over macaroni, sprinkle with black pepper and additional paprika.
- 8. Place dish on baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, until hot - 20 to 25 minutes. Place under broiler until top is slightly golden and bubbly - 3 or 4 minutes.
