POLISH MAC AND CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a full boil.
• Cut the sausage into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Add the macaroni and the sausage to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is cooked al dente, about 5 to 6 minutes. (It should still have a bit of bite to it.) Drain.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour with just enough milk to form a paste in a small bowl. Slowly add the remaining milk, stirring as you do, making sure to remove any lumps. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the milk mixture into the saucepan. Stir in the salt. Add the cheese and continue to stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture starts to thicken. When the mixtue is almost smooth, stir in the cooked macaroni and sausage until it is well incorporated. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare macaroni & cheese according to package directions. In a large bowl, combine sausage, prepared macaroni & cheese, soup, milk and one cup Cheddar cheese. Mix well; pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with parsley or cayenne pepper, if desired. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
