Ingredients
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups milk
8 oz. Velveeta, cut into cubes
6-8 slices American cheese
1/2 lb. pasta (a shape that would hold the cheese sauce well, like elbows or shells)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375. Boil water for pasta and cook pasta according to package directions; drain and pour into 1 1/2 quart oval oven-proof casserole dish. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each). Add milk and Velveeta. Cook over medium heat, stirring until cheese is melted and you have a somewhat thick cheese sauce. Pour sauce over pasta and mix together. Place slices of American cheese on top in one layer. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes.
