Baked Macaroni and Cheese
From The "Best-of-All" Cook Book
8-ounce package macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon paprika
2½ cups milk
1 cup (¼ pound) grated cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Cook macaroni as directed on package, rinse and drain. Start oven at moderately hot (400 degrees F.). Butter 2-quart baking dish. Melt butter in large saucepan, stir flour in smoothly, adding salt, pepper, mustard, and paprika. When well blended, add milk slowly, stirring constantly over low heat until mixture thickens and boils. Add cheese and Worcestershire sauce, and stir until cheese has melted. Add drained macaroni and pour into prepared baking dish. Bake in moderately hot oven 20 minutes or until top is browned. Makes 6 generous servings.
Some comments: I cook over higher heat than "low heat." I want to eat sometime tonight. Crosse & Blackwell Genuine Worcester Sauce is "suitable for vegetarians." A quarter pound of cheese? Please! Use more. I was hungry and didn't let it get terribly brown but it was nice and creamy. Half a tablespoon of salt is too much for me. Six generous servings!? It's more like two generous servings tonight and two small servings for leftovers in this house!
The recipe for the brownies came from the back of the baking chocolate package. You've already got that in your pantry.
Yum!

Tell Jerry Happy Birthday! I can never remember the in-laws birthdays and so you may think I am just mean...not true! Just OLD!!!
When I read the recipe, I was thinking "Only a quarter pound of cheese for a whole package of macaroni?" Then I saw you feltthe same way. The finished product looked delicious! And I, too, let Jerry's birthday slip by. Happy Birthday, JerBear, if you read this!
