• 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 Teaspoon mustard powder, ground
• 1 Teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 2 Cups milk

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Butter a 1.5-quart casserole dish. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until not quite done, about 6 minutes. Drain the macaroni.
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 and processed cheeses, and stir constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.
3. Drain the 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 the sauce is thick and bubbly. Enjoy your delicious homemade macaroni and cheese!
