Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz (half box) dried macaroni

Notes

  • 1 cup of cheese means half of a block. Do not use an entire block or you will suffer.
  • Sharper cheeses help the sauce to have flavor. Mild cheddar yields sub par flavor.
  • Toast bread crumbs before baking them! They do not have the right texture otherwise.
