Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Recipe courtesy of gingergrl

2 tbsp corn starch

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 1/2 cups milk

2 tbsp butter

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I like sharp cheddar)

8 oz. elbow macaroni, cooked al dente

Plain bread crumbs

In medium saucepan combine first three ingredients - stir in milk.  Add butter, stirring constantly over medium-high heat until sauce thickens.  Don't stop stirring or it will scorch!  Remove from heat.

Stir in 2 1/2 cups cheese until melted.  Add macaroni - pour into 2 qt casserole dish.   Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.

Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.  Makes 4 servings.

(I usually have to triple or quadruple this recipe - it works out fine but DON'T triple the salt - it will be way too salty.)
