Mac n' cheese (from scratch!)

Ok, this is the bomb! This is nothing like the "blue box". Comfort food at it's best!

2 c macaroni noodles, cooked and drained
Make a roux (white sauce):
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 c flour
2 c cold milk
salt and pepper to taste
When smooth and thickened add:
2 c grated cheddar cheese
dash tobasco

* Mix with noodles and serve or for a more gourmet effect place in 9x13 casserole dish and top with 1/2-1 c bread crumbs mixed with a few Tbs. melted butter and bake for 20-30 min. @ 350. Sometimes I turn on the broiler for a few min. to brown the crumbs more.

Sorry there is no picture. I forgot to get one and we inhaled the whole thing so I couldn't get one. It was good!

These are all great sounding recipes. I'm having a hard time reading some of them, however, because the blog border covers some of the measurements and directions. Maybe I'll try adding something to the blog site, if I can figure out how to add pictures!
