Macaroni and Cheese

I don't actually like macaroni and cheese but everybody else really likes this. I decided to try this recipe because Mom was trying to get away from the pre-packaged foods. I am looking for more recipes like this.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 2/3 cups milk

A LITTLE over 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 pound pasta

or

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

A LITTLE over 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

About 6 ounces of pasta

Put the butter in a large saucepan and set the pan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted. Add the flour and whisk it together with the butter until smooth and bubbly but not browned. If the mixture begins to brown, reduce the heat. With the pan still on the heat, slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Cook, continuing to whisk, until the mixture is smooth, thickened, and gently boiling. Remove the pan and add the cheese. Whisk until the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth, cover with lid and set aside. Cook the pasta, drain it and then add it to the sauce. Yum, Yum (to everybody else at least)
