Print
1 1/2 cups dry, uncooked elbow pasta (macaroni)
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 cups milk
8 ounces American cheese
Topping (optional)
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup dried plain bread crumbs
Cook the pasta according to package directions, and drain.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour, stirring until well blended. Add the salt, pepper and milk, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until thick and bubbly. Add the cheese and stir constantly, until cheese is melted.
Pour the pasta in a greased 8 or 9" square pan. Add the cheese sauce and stir.
If making the topping, melt the butter in a small skillet, then add the breadcrumbs. Stir constantly until lightly browned. Sprinkle over the pasta.
Bake 350 degrees, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, until heated through and is bubbly.
Serve. This is good accompanied by meatloaf. See Recipe below.
