Photo 49: Mac and Cheese vs Edamame

Alex finished up his edamame so reached to get some off of my plate!

really?! edamame over mac and cheese?

He finally realized that the noodles tasted good too so ate his up,

but I think he ate more edamame then Will and I combined!

This was a homemade macaroni and cheese recipe from Will's mom. She has an Italian and American version...this is the American one!

you need:

1 1/2 cup macaroni

1/4 cup butter

salt and pepper

1/4 cup flour

1 3/4 cup milk

2-3 cups of cheese (i used a mix of cheddar and mozzarella

optional: 1/2 lb ground beef or another meat of your choice

• brown beef and put to the side
• boil macaroni noodles
• in a small pot melt butter. add some salt and pepper
• blend in flour on low heat, stir constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbly
• Remove from heat and add milk.
• put back on heat and heat until boiling. 
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese
• put beef, noodles, and cheese sauce in a casserole dish.
• heat in oven at 375 for 30 minutes.
