Boil your macaroni- pick a fun shape- elbows, shells, rainbow….drain and cover til ready to add to your cheese sauce.
Melt 1/3 cup butter or margarine, add 1/3 cup flour and make your “roux”- pronounced ROO. Add 2 cups of milk, one pound of American cheese in slices or cubes and melt. Season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Once sauce is thick, add back your cooked pasta, stir and serve hot. See, EASY!
