A wonderful comfort food. You can add chopped ham and peas, too! Cut down on the cooking time by using a can of evaporated milk for the milk.

How To Make baked macaroni and cheese

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse cooked macaroni with cold water and place in a 3 quart baking dish or 13x9 inch pan.

Step 2

In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk and then add sour cream. Add salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until sauce bubbles and thickens.
Step 3

Reserve 1 cup of cheddar cheese and add the rest to the sauce, stir into the sauce until melted.
Step 4

Pour sauce over macaroni and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. (You could also sprinkle on a little parmesan cheese if you like.)
Step 5

Bake 1 hour, until bubbly and browned.
