Directions:
For Cheese Sauce:
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubble a bit, but don't let in brown. Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat and cook stirring for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the grated cheese during the last two minutes of cooking, along with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Preheat oven to 375º. Put cooked macaroni into a 1 1/2 quart casserole, pour cheese sauce over it and mix gently. Sprinkle to grated cheese evenly over the top and spread the crumbs over the cheese. Bake uncovered, until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

This recipe is from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. It has become one of my specialties. To change it up, sometimes I like to add tomatoes or broccoli.
