Mac 'n Cheese

My kids ask for this often.  Sometimes, they ask for this instead of the "box stuff."

Mac 'n Cheese

2 cups elbow macaroni
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
dash s&p and garlic and onion powder
2 1/2 cups milk
3 cups american cheese (6 oz) (I hate american cheese but that is how it goes creamy.  I split the cheese in half and do half american and half medium cheddar.)

Cook macaroni until tender, drain well.

In saucepan, melt butter.  Stir in flour, salt, pepper, garlic & onion powders.  Add milk all at once.  Cok and stir till slightly thickened and bubbly.  Add american cheese, stirring til melted then add cheddar if you do both cheeses.  Add cooked macaroni and stir well.  Transfer to baking dish.

Bake at 350 for 25 -30 minutes or til hot an bubbly.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
