Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

1 lb macaroni noodles or small shells (a favorite with the kids)
2-3 cups cheeses (we like Tillamook Vintage White Cheddar mixed with their Sharp Cheddar)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
salt and pepper

Cook noodles according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat butter over medium low heat until melted.  Add flour and 1 tsp salt, stirring with whisk until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth.  Return to heat and stir (mostly constantly) until thickened.  Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.  Pour over cooked noodles; stir to coat.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  I like Lawry's seasoned pepper. Serve hot with broccoli and cauliflower on the side.
