2 -3 cups macaroni noodles, uncooked
1/4 cup hard butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
2 cups grated cheddar cheese, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs or 3/4 cup crushed unsalted cracker

1
Cook and drain macaroni; rinse with cold water.
2
Meanwhile, melt butter or margarine either in a pot on the stove or in a microwavable container in the microwave.
3
Stir in flour.
4
Add milk and cook, stirring frequently (5 - 6 minutes in the microwave, stirring every minute) until thickened.
5
Add seasonings and continue cooking on stove or in microwave for 1 - 2 minutes longer.
6
Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and stir until melted (may need to be cooked for 1 more minute to melt the cheese).
7
Grease a large casserole dish and pour in macaroni noodles and cheese sauce, stirring to mix. My dad always layered the noodles and sauce, so that's an option, too.
8
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
9
Bake at 375 for 25 - 30 minutes, or until mixture is heated through and the cheese on top is completely melted.
