This may not be like a lot of macaroni and cheese recipes, but it just tastes like home to me. My mom use to make this all of the time and its one of my favorites.
3 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 cups milk, warmed in microwave
2 cups shredded white American cheese (get sliced from deli and then chop it up)
16oz elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
1/4 cup bread crumbs
In a 2 quart saucepan melt butter over low/med heat. Stir in flour, salt, mustard and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Stir constantly, over medium heat, for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Remove from hear and stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese.
Turn macaroni into a greased casserole dish and pour cheese sauce over and mix.
Mix in a bowl bread crumbs and remaining cheese, then sprinkle on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
*My family tradition is to put a little tomato sauce over the top when eating!
