Mac and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese!!

I've been saying this for what seems like years. This is THE best mac and cheese ever. Everyone that has tried this has loved it. Even my brother-in-law who swore he didn't like mac and cheese has been waiting for me to put this recipe on here. So Kevin, Here it is!

 
ARE YOU READY!?

What you need:

One box of whole wheat macaroni
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of shredded havarti cheese
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese - about an 1/8 cup for the topping
3 slices of bread
3 tbsp of butter/margerine
2-3 tbsp of flour
3/4 cup milk - you may need more
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp paprika

Boil macaroni with a dash of salt added to water. When done, set aside.

Melt butter on medium low. Add flour while stirring quickly. Let cook for a while to cook out the flour taste. 

Add milk slowly while stirring. Let sit until milk starts to bubble up. Stir. If mixture seems too think add more milk, a little at a time. Add salt and pepper.

Add all shredded cheese except extra parmesan. Stir until smooth. 

Add macaroni into pot and stir. 
Toast pieces of bread and butter them. Cut them up and put them in a food processor. Add paprika, extra parmesan and chopped parsley.
Pulse until it looks like bread crumbs.
Add mac and cheese to greased baking dish. Spread bread crumbs on top.

Broil in the oven on High for 10 minutes or until you see a nice crust form.

Seriously, if you don't try this, I'll be forced to make this face:
