Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pound elbow macaroni (I often use whole wheat—although not this time.)
1 pound (4 cups) shredded extra sharp or sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon ground mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups low-fat milk (or go with whole if you’re feeling indulgent!)
1 and 1/2 tablespoons butter (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray or grease a casserole dish or a 9x13 pan.
Cook macaroni as directed on the package in salted water until tender.
While macaroni is cooking, combine 2 and 1/2 cups of cheese with dry ingredients (flour, ground mustard, salt and pepper). I bought pre-shredded cheese so I just dumped the dry ingredients into the bag, re-closed it and gave it a good shake. How easy is that?!
Combine cheese and dry ingredient mixture with hot macaroni and pour into the greased pan. Pour milk over macaroni. Top with remaining cheese and dot with butter (optional, but recommended).
Bake for 45 minutes or until firm and golden brown. I stick a knife in it to see if the milk is still runny or if it has firmed up.
(Optional) Let sit for 10 minutes before serving to further firm up.

I leave out the butter. No need to add anymore calories or fat.
