Rosie McLean's Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

One 7-oz package Creamettes
½ cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups evaporated milk
2 tbsp. flour
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Cook Creamettes as directed on package. Melt butter over low heat and stir into flour to form a smooth paste. Add milk, stirring constantly.
Add salt and pepper and cook until thickened.
Remove from heat. Place drained Creamettes in greased bake dish and mix in ½ the cheese.
Reheat sauce and mix with macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle heavily with rest of cheese and dot with 2 tbsp. of butter.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes in 300 degree oven. If crust is desired (And it would be a shame not to
have it) place in broiler for a few minutes or until brown.
Serves six or one helping for Rosie.

Slather on plate and do not be shy about asking for seconds. Next day leftovers are great in the microwave. Fill paper plate with mac `n cheese, cover with second paper plate and zap for 1 ½ - 2 minutes.
Enjoy and invite me over.

Thanks to J D Webb!
