Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 5.5 oz. crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk
  • 1 sleeve Saltine crackers (crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2-2.5 tablespoons flour

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the macaroni until it’s al dente.  While the macaroni is cooking, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • The next step is to make a roux.  To do this, simply melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in enough flour to make the roux, about 2-2.5 tablespoons.  After the flour and butter are well combined, slowly stir in the entire can of evaporated milk.  Let the milk mixture heat up a bit, then slowly add 2.5-3 cups of the shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, and about 3/4 of the blue cheese, stirring continuously so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan.   Continue cooking until all of the cheese is melted.
  • Drain the water out of the macaroni and dump it into an 8×8 casserole dish.  Then, pour your melted cheese mixture over the macaroni, and stir it all together, making sure that every piece of macaroni gets covered with the cheese mixture. 
  • Next, sprinkle the crushed Saltine crackers evenly over the macaroni. 
  • Then, sprinkle the remaining shredded sharp cheddar cheese and blue cheese over the Saltine crackers. 
  • Top the macaroni with a few small pieces of butter.
  • Cover the macaroni with aluminum foil and cook at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the aluminum foil, and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the Saltine crackers have turned golden brown.
