Macaroni and Cheese

Mac N Cheese

1 pound of macaroni
1 8oz block of sharp cheddar, shredded
3 T flour
3 T butter
1 1/2 c milk
dash of red pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon)
salt and pepper to taste

Cook the macaroni (do not overcook) and drain.  In frying pan melt butter, add flour and mix until all lumps are gone and pasty, keep on medium heat and add milk and red pepper.  I use 1% milk, but you could use 2%.  Stir frequently and heat until thickens.  Remove from heat and add cheese.  Stir til melted and add hot spaghetti.  Place in large baking pan, cover with foil, cook at 350 for about 15 minutes.

Notes:  You can experiment with different types of macaroni and different cheeses.  Aunt Tricia likes to mix mozzarella with cheddar.  Sometimes I add a can of chicken for an entree.  You could also add ham or tuna.
