easy homemade mac & cheese

16 oz bag elbow macaroni

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3 Tbs. flour

1 tsp ground mustard (gives flavor and color)

salt & pepper to taste (we love Costco’s garlic salt)

2 cups milk

2 cups cheese -- whatever your family prefers.

------------------------------------------------------

Cook the macaroni according to directions.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan melt butter. Then blend in flour, mustard powder, and salt & pepper. Cook on medium heat until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk. Bring to gently boil and stir over medium heat until mix thickens. Stir in the cheese until it is melted and mixed together.

Drain pasta, add the cheese mixture and stir together and serve warm. Enjoy!
