Macaroni and Cheese

1 lb. Macaroni Noodles. We always get the big macaroni noodles(sometimes we'll do 1.5 lbs. to stretch the amount so we can have leftovers... :))
4 T butter or margarine (we often half the butter, but it doesn't get as thick that way.)
4 T flour
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt (we double the salt)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (we mix up the cheeses too, we really like provolone and cheddar together)

Cook Noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile melt butter or margarine over medium low heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add a little milk until smooth. Add remaining milk slowly while stirring until mixture thickens and just starts to boil. (I don't stir it constantly, but you do have to watch it so it doesn't get lumpy.) Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Pour over cooked noodles and stir to combine.

This was Julie's recipe but all the comments are Aubrey's.  :)
