Macaroni Cheese

This is quick, simple and double well. So if you have a few extra’s in the house for the holidays it’s the perfect supper.


Ingredients:
½ Tbsp Margarine/Butter
3 Tbsp Flour
800ml Milk
tsp Worchestershire Sauce
½ tsp Hot English mustard
1 tsp oil
3 Cups grated cheese
500g macaroni
2 Tomatoes
12 Chicken Viennas

Method:

In a medium pot place margarine and flour. Whisk to form a ball. Add milk slowly until you get a sauce with the right consistency. (It should be thick but pourable). Add Worchestershire sauce, mustard and 1 cup of grated cheese.

In a separate pot bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt and a tsp of oil. Once boiling add macaroni and stir. Stir occasionally until cooked. Drain.

Chop viennas into bite size pieces (about 1cm wide). Slice tomatoes.

Place Macaroni, viennas and sauce in an oven proof rectangular dish (approx 900ml). Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and place tomatoes on top. Grill until crispy and golden brown.

Handy Tip: Use the small side of the grater to grate the cheese. You get more cheese for the topping and it melts to form a more solid top layer.

Handy Tip: You can swop the viennas for ham or bacon. If you want a vegetarian dish use onion, tomato and mushrooms instead. You can also add mushroom to the normal dish if you prefer.
