Directions:
Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Be sure to add 1/4 Tsp. salt to the water used to boil the noodles. Drain, and set aside.
Make the cheese sauce:

Add flour mixture and whisk to combine.
Cook for 1 minute until mixture is slightly brown.

Let the mac and cheese cool for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese sauce has thickened a little bit and sticks to the noodles.
Serve warm!
