This is a friends recipe...delish!!


* 8 tbsp butter
* 6 tbsp flour
* ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
* salt & pepper to taste
* 3-3/4 cups hot milk
* 4 cups grated cheddar cheese
* 1lb macaroni noodles cooked
* ½ cup heavy cream
* ½ cup bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt 6 tbsp of butter in medium sauce pan over low heat.
3. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes. You may have to turn up the heat. The flour mixture must foam as it cooks or the sauce will have a raw flour taste.
4. Stir in cayenne and season to taste with salt & pepper.
5. Whisk in hot milk, ½ cup at a time and cook, stirring until sauce thickens.
6. Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups of cheese, stirring constantly until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
7. Combine cooked pasta and sauce in large bowl.
8. Sprinkle ½ cup of cheese over the bottom of a buttered 8x11 baking dish. Place a third of the pasta in the dish and top with ½ cup of cheese. Then repeat, layering pasta & cheese and ending with cheese. You should get about 3 layers.
9. Pour cream over assembled mac & cheese.
10. Melt remaining butter (2tbsp) in skillet, add bread crumbs. Stirring to coat.
11. Sprinkle bread crumbs over mac & cheese.
12. Bake until crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
13. Enjoy!
