Veg Box Mac ‘N’ Cheese
A veg box isn’t essential for this dish: its aim is to use up any veg that may need eating and provide a comforting meal to warm you up on a frosty day.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºfan/Gas 6.
Cook the macaroni according to the packet’s instructions, adding the vegetables for the last 5–10 minutes of cooking, depending on the type of veg. Drain well.
Meanwhile, put the butter, flour and milk in a saucepan and whisk continuously until the mixture bubbles. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring. Remove from the heat, stir in the mustard to taste and 200g (7oz) of the cheese. Fold into the macaroni and vegetables.
Transfer the mixture to a 2 litre (3. pint) baking dish and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese. Place the dish on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes until the topping is golden and the cheese has melted. Serve with salad, if liked.
