Enjoy the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/stuffed-pasta-rolls-spinach-sausage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comfort food<\/a> without having to worry about the laundry list of ingredients in store bought mac. And, it\u2019s totally freezer friendly!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Mac and Cheese With Roux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, you barely take as much time to cook this homemade whole wheat mac and cheese as the box stuff! Using butter and whole-wheat flour, you whisk together the flour once the butter has completely melted. Once it\u2019s darkened but not burnt, lower the heat and add the milk!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s as easy as that, and you end up with a more flavorful and nutritious meal. The recipe below details these steps as well as all of the ingredients you need to make whole wheat macaroni and cheese!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toppings for Homemade Macaroni and Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to give this recipe a little more character of your own? There\u2019s a plethora of ingredients you can add, here\u2019s a few you might like to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More grated cheese!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/recipe-homemade-breadcrumbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Whole wheat breadcrumbs<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sliced green onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parmesan cheese&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butter crackers&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dash of paprika<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Freeze Homemade Mac and Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let the whole wheat macaroni and cheese cool completely. Next, seal it in a freezer container or airtight bag to prevent it from getting freezer burnt. It can stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months, after that give this recipe another go!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, this recipe is also much better for you with only a few simple ingredients including whole-grain noodles. So go ahead and do the right thing by making the switch for your family\u2026it\u2019s better late than never!
