List of Ingredients




1/4 cup butter, margarine or oil
5 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon (freshly ground) pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
8 ounces grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (such as New York State or Vermont), about 2 cups
8 ounces vermicelli

Recipe



Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish or your favorite casserole. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Meanwhile, melt butter (or heat oil) in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to the butter and blend completely. Add milk, a little at a time (at first, it will seize up and get quite thick) until it loosens and easily incorporates more milk, then pour in all the milk. Stirring often, cook until thick. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until blended.

When the water in the pot comes to a boil, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Add vermicelli; stir, and cook for 4 1/2 minutes. Drain vermicelli and place in greased pan. Pour cheese sauce over top. Jiggle the strands of vermicelli with a fork to let the cheese sauce seep down.

Bake 20 minutes or until it's bubbling around the sides.

Serves 4.

Serve with sliced ham or cooked breakfast sausage, and apples fried with a little butter, sugar and cinnamon.
