2.In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour, mustard powder, and pepper until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, beating out any lumps. Add the American, Cheddar and processed cheeses, and stir constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.
3.Drain noodles, and stir them into the cheese sauce. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
4.Cover the dish, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until sauce is thick and bubbly.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This has taken 1-2 years to get right, I just kept messing with it. You can use any sort of milk, sometimes I make it with evaporated or skim or regular, skim turns out OK because it is so rich. You can also mix up any variation of the cheeses, just not the velveeta. You don't have to bake it and if you just want to eat it directly after you combine your sauce with the pasta that works out OK too, wait a few minutes then eat fresh. We just put some sauce in a dish, add the noodles, then sprinkle some shredded cheese on top and serve it this way, people then stir it together (Duncan likes this because it makes him think he is at "Noodles and Company". If you do decide to bake it all the sauce is absorbed so don't decrease it. Be Careful not to scald the mix as you are cooking it or it will ruin the dish.
