Homemade Mac and Cheese with Beef Franks

This homemade macaroni and cheese with beef franks is the ultimate comfort food! It makes a hearty dinner all on its own.

Here is a delicious recipe for homemade Mac & Cheese with Beef Franks! I used Spelt Flour in the recipe. You can however use regular flour if you choose to.

This is such a nice comfort food for me! I have a gluten intolerance so I made it using Spelt as it is a mild flour that has minimal gluten in it. I can handle eating it, which is why I chose to cook with it. 

I also opted for gluten free pasta – again you can use whatever your favorite is.

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese with Beef Franks Recipe

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour (Spelt but can use regular)
1 cup milk
12 oz. velveeta (if you don’t want super cheesy do 8 oz.)
1 bag of pasta ( I used Gluten-Free but you can use normal)
1/2 cup corn flakes
1/2 a package of beef franks

How to Make:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Cut up the Beef Franks and Velveeta Cheese.

Place cornflakes in a zip top bag and crush.

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain. 

In a saucepan, combine the butter and flour and stir over medium heat. Once the butter melts, continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps get the flour taste out, and builds a nice think base for your mac n cheese!

Add the milk to the mixture. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes thicker like gravy. This will take a little while before it gets thick.

Once mixture is thick, toss in the cheese cubes and stir until creamy.

Combine pasta and cheese mixture and stir to combine. Add the beef franks and stir again.

Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour the mixture into the dish. Toss the crushed cornflakes over the top of the mac n cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is a nice golden brown!

Toss in a bowl or plate and enjoy!
