What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Instant Mac ‘n Cheese! Face it. Every once in awhile the craving hits us to settle into a comfy chair with a warm bowl of Mac ‘n Cheese. Most pantries have all the ingredients you need to make it at home in a flash. Pasta, butter, milk, cheese, and seasonings. If you don’t have elbow macaroni, substitute ziti. If you’re low on cheddar cheese, use a couple slices of Velveeta instead. It’s all good. Sprinkle the gooey Mac ‘n Cheese with Cajun seasoning for extra zest. Oh, yeah!
INSTANT MAC ‘N CHEESE
Ingredients:
4 ounces pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Dash of Cajun seasoning
Instructions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. In medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour and sea salt. Stir until smooth. Raise heat to medium. Slowly add milk, stirring occasionally. Cook until bubbly. Add cheese and stir well until melted. Drain pasta. Blend with cheese sauce stirring to coat. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
This sounds good. I’ve not had too much luck making Mac and Cheese from scratch so I don’t bother. But this outlines how easy it can be. Thanks!

Mac and cheese is a firm favourite in my house (sometimes I even add good old crispy bacon). Love it !!! I haven’t tried it with cajun seasoning so will do that next ❤
