Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-oz.) block extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (optional)
1/2 (16-oz.) package elbow macaroni, cooked

Directions:

WHISK FLOUR INTO BUTTER
Preheat oven to 400°. Microwave milk at HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute.
WHISK IN WARM MILK
Gradually whisk in warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened.
WHISK IN CHEESE
Whisk in salt, black pepper, 1 cup shredded cheese, and, if desired, red pepper until smooth; stir in pasta. Spoon pasta mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt. baking dish; top with remaining cheese. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
