Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt margarine in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer over medium heat until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes, whisking frequently. Meanwhile, cook macaroni in boiling, salted water until tender. Drain.

  2. Step 2

    Reserve six cheese slices. Slowly add remaining cheese to the milk mixture a slice at a time, whisking constantly. Stir in mustard and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Lightly grease a 1½-quart casserole. Toss the macaroni with the cheese mixture and place in the dish. Top with the reserved cheese slices. Bake for 30 minutes.

Used sharp cheddar rather than velvetta and used butter delish

I'd rather eat macaroni and cheese out of the blue box.

Let's see, light margarine, low fat milk, Velveeta. Which one doesn't fit? Guess there's a balance of some sort. Less fat more processed whatever
