Mom's Macaroni and Cheese

I love "comfort food" and this recipe is definitely that! My kids gobble this up! I also like that I always have the ingredients to make this.

Mom's Macaroni and Cheese

8 oz. macaroni noodles
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook and drain macaroni. In 1 1/2 qt. dish, alternate noodles (2 layers) with 1 1/2 cup cheese (2 layers). Set aside.

Meanwhile, prepare sauce...melt butter in saucepan; remove from heat. Blend in flour; gradually stir in milk, then seasonings. Put back on heat and bring to boil. While stirring boil for one minute. Pour sauce over macaroni and cheese in casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Let stand several minutes and serve. If you have leftovers, it helps to add a little milk to it before you reheat it in the microwave. Then just stir it up when it's done and it's delicious!
