Submitted By: tpatch (Theresa)

2 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 1/2 cups milk

8 oz. elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
Plain bread crumbs

In medium saucepan combine first three ingredients - stir in milk.

Add butter, stirring constantly over medium-high heat until sauce thickens. Don't stop stirring or it will scorch! Remove from heat.

Stir in 2 1/2 cups cheese until melted.

Add macaroni - pour into 2 qt casserole dish.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.

Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
