Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter
1 (12 ounce) package maple flavored sausage
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
6 slices white bread
3 sprigs fresh parsley

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and maple sausage, and cook until no longer pink. Gradually mix in flour, while stirring continuously, until the mixture is thick and pasty. You may not need all of the flour. Slowly whisk in the milk using a fork so that lumps do not form. Stir in bouillon. Continue cooking and stirring constantly until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will get.
Toast slices of white bread, and top with the meat gravy. Garnish with a little fresh parsley, and serve.

Tips:

Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or a combination of cheeses will give you the best flavor.
Don't overcook the macaroni: It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Make a roux: This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth consistency.
Add milk and cheese gradually: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
Top with breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese: This will give the macaroni and cheese a golden brown crust.
Bake until bubbly: The macaroni and cheese is done when it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and gooey.
