Baked Mac and Cheese

Now I dont make baked mac n cheese often, since the wonderful people at Kraft made the Deluxe with cheese sauce in the box, but here goes...

6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
5 cups milk
4 cups cheese - I use 2 cups Sharp Cheddar, 1 cup Monterey Jack, 1 cup mozzarella
pinch of tsp pepper
pinch of red pepper
pinch of salt (which I usually leave out)
1 box macaroni


1. In a large saucepan cook butter and flour together, about 5 minutes.
2. Add milk and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in cheese and seasonings, plus 2 tsps salt.
4. Remove from heat and add one pound, cooked and drained macaroni.
5. Pour into greased 9x13 glass baking pan.
6. Sprinkle cheese and black pepper on top.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until golden and bubbly (bubbly is a real word right?)
