Everyone Loves Macaroni and Cheese

Last night I busted out my mom's (well, James Beard's) recipe for baked macaroni and cheese. It's cheesy, gooey, and yummy. Need I say more?

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1 box macaroni

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set water to boil for macaroni. Melt butter over low heat. Add flour and stir until dissolved. Gradually stir in milk. Bring sauce to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Turn down heat, stir in hot pepper sauce. (Macaroni water will probably be boiling by now.) Stir in heavy cream, simmer. Stir in 2 cups cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted and blended. Pour over boiled macaroni and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
