White Cheddar and Havarti Mac’n’Cheese

COMFORT FOOD!!!!!!  Okay, I know it's the wrong season for comfort food...but with summer rearing it's head ever so slowly I could use a little today LOL!

Everyone has a favorite recipe for good old fashioned Mac’n’Cheese and this is mine. It’s rich and creamy with just a hint of tang, thanks to the addition of a little cream cheese. Give it a try you’ll never eat the boxed version ever again!

*This makes a LOT of sauce...I can't stand it when it's not really saucey. Plus any left over sauce I'll use in another recipe...which will be my next post.

1/2c                butter                                                              
1/2c                flour
                                                   4c                   milk
                                                   1/4c               cream cheese
                                                   1/2tsp           salt
                                                   1/4tsp           pepper (white if you prefer)
                                                   2 1/2c           old white cheddar cheese (shredded)
                                                   2                    slices of havarti cheese (broken into pieces)

                                                  6c                 macaroni noodles (cooked)

Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan, then add the flour and whisk together until you have no lumps. Cook flour mixture until it no longer smells like play-dough and begins to smell slightly nutty. Then quickly whisk in the milk, when it’s completely incorporated whisk in the cream cheese and the remaining ingredients and continue to stir until you’ve reached your desired consistency. Pour the sauce onto of cooked pasta (I like macaroni or shells) and enjoy.
