- 3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt + 1/2 teaspoon more
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Cook macaroni according to package instructions, drain it & stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well & set aside.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pot over media heat. Once the butter is completely melted, add the flour. Stir well to combine, for about a minute.
