2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Cut cheese into cubes & scatter over macaroni.

Cover top w/ bread crumbs.

Pour sauce over all.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 30 minutes.

*- I just used shredded cheese & definitely didn't measoure! :) I probably used a ton (used Cheddar & some Colby Jack).
**- I have no clue what buttered bread crumbs are, so I just used plain.
