"Kid-Approved" Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe by:
Larry
This makes a great side dish, but once the kids try it, it will become their main dish. The directions were made simple enough for a ten year old or a real beginner cook wanting to go beyond take-out or boxed dinners. Great for pot luck dinners too.

Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup margarine or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 8 ounces Velveeta(R) cheese, cubed
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 20 mins1.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2.
Put cold milk in a medium sauce pan. Using a whisk, mix in flour. Make sure it is completely mixed. Put on medium heat. Add margarine or butter and salt. Add small pieces of cheese, stirring constantly, until all cheese is melted and sauce has started to thicken. Remove from heat. Set aside.
3.
Fill a large pot about 3/4 full of water. Add macaroni to boiling water and boil until macaroni is soft.
4.
Carefully drain water and put macaroni in an oven proof casserole dish. Warm up the sauce again so it is fluid and add to macaroni. Stir until completely mixed.
5.
Bake, covered, in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until heated through. Stir before serving.

Good starter recipe, not just for kids. My mom started us out about age 9 or 10 with green salads and fruit plates like pear and cheese. I think my first dessert was a Jello Parfait. This Mac'n'Cheese project expands easily with cubed ham and or steamed broccoli, if your kids are up to knives already.
