3 quarts rapidly boiling water

2 cups elbow macaroni

1 cup grated muenster cheese

1 cup soft fresh fine bread crumbs

1/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 cups milk

1 large tomato cut into wedges

1. Add macaroni gradually so that water continues to boil.
2. Cook uncovered stirring occasionally until tender then drain in a colander.

5. Stir in bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture and set aside.

7. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture is bubbly then reduce heat to low.
8. Stir in milk gradually then cook stirring constantly until mixture thickens and begins to boil.
9. Remove from heat and add remaining cheese mixture and stir until cheeses are melted.
