Macaroni With Cheese Recipe

Ingredients for Macaroni With Cheese

• 4 ounces of macaroni
• 4 ounces grated cheese
• ½ pint milk
• 1 ounce butter
• Pepper, salt

Instructions

1. Break the macaroni into two-inch lengths, and throw it into plenty of fast boiling water, and let it boil quickly for half an hour.
2. Now drain it, and add the milk to it, and a little pepper, bring it to the boiling point quickly, and then let it simmer gently for another half hour.
3. The macaroni should be perfectly tender, but unbroken, and the cheese and butter may now be added, stirring the contents of the saucepan constantly--one way--until the whole of the cheese is melted and thoroughly mixed with the macaroni.
4. Turn it out on a dish, and serve hot as possible.
5. Another way of serving the macaroni makes a prettier dish: Instead of adding the cheese and butter to the macaroni in the saucepan, a layer of the macaroni may be put on the bottom of a well-buttered French baking dish, and part of the cheese scattered over it; then the rest of the macaroni must be put over the cheese, and the remainder of the cheese used as before.
6. The top should be covered with fine bread crumbs, and the butter taken and broken up in bits, and placed over the top.
7. This dish should now be placed in a hot oven, and quickly browned.
8. It is necessary to stir the macaroni occasionally when boiling quickly in the water, and after the milk has been added, it must be stirred frequently, or it will stick to the pan and spoil.
