Notes:
I like my mac and cheese salty so I add a liberal amount of salt to the boiling water to trap the flavor in the pasta. Also, if you like garlic and onion add as much as you want until the flavor you want is achieved. Enjoy!

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups - Elbow Macaroni
- 3 tablespoons - Butter
- 3 tablespoons - Flour
- 2 cups - Milk, not skim
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt & pepper
- 2 1/2 cups - Shredded Cheese Sharp Cheddar, Gouda, Swiss, Romano
- 1/2 tablespoons - Garlic Powder or Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons - Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons - Ground Mustard
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil; add a generous sprinkling of salt the pasta.
3. While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a skillet or pot large enough to hold the pasta when it's done.
4. Add the flour and stir until the mixture is lightly browned; 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the milk and whisk to remove any lumps and add the salt and pepper.
6. Stir in 2 cups of cheese and whisk until smooth and melted.
7. When the pasta is almost done but still firm, drain it and add to the sauce.
8. Stir the pasta into the sauce and pour into a greased 2 quart dish (or an 8x8 pan works pretty well) and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake for 40-45 minutes until browned and bubbly.
