Posted by: HollyMcDonoughGA


List of Ingredients




7 oz. pkg (2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni)
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups (8 oz.) grated sharp cheddar cheese


Recipe



Follow directions for cooking elbow macaroni on package; drain well and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter or margarine; stir in flour, mustard and salt. Gradually stir in milk-and cook until mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese; stir into the flour-milk mixture until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the cooked elbow macaroni. Spoon entire mixture into a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole or shallow baking dish. Top with remaining cheese. Can sprinkle bread crumble or finely crushed cornflakes for crunchy topping. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Serves 6 to 8
