Every Groo girl should know how to make this family favorite! It is great on a variety of veggies, meat, and – of course – macaroni.<\/p>\n
\u00bc C butter
\n\u00bc C flour
\n~2 C milk
\n~2 C grated cheddar cheese
\nsalt to taste
\npepper to taste<\/p>\n
Place softened butter in a wide pot or saucier over low heat. As butter begins to melt, sprinkle in the flour, a little at a time. Using a whisk to blend will give you best results.<\/p>\n
When all of the flour is incorporated into the butter, you have a roux. Turn the heat up to medium. Add the milk, about \u00bc cup at a time, stirring slowly but continuously. Add the cheese and continue to stir until it is all melted and blended in.<\/p>\n
Add salt & pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
Serve over hot buttered pasta.<\/p>\n
Yields: 6-8 servings<\/p>\n
Time to make: 15 – 20 min<\/p>\n

Notes: For creamy, delicious Baked Macaroni & Cheese: Cook 12 oz large elbow noodles to just shy of al dente, mix in one batch of Cheese Sauce, pour all that into a casserole dish & sprinkle grated cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350\u00b0F for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,10],"tags":[25,49,64],"class_list":["post-95","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-dish","category-sauce-marinade","tag-casserole","tag-pasta","tag-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6309-scaled.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2278,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions\/2278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
