Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ) We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. Bake about 20- 30 minutes, when you see top getting a bit crispy and brown.I only do this if I happen to buy a 12 oz bag or block instead of 8 oz.As an extra indulgence, you can sprinkle 4 oz more cheese on top.Pour into a 9 x 12 baking dish or 2 quart casserole.Add cheddar cheese and stir until cheese starts to melt.If you have made basic white sauce, you will know when it is thick enough.There is no way to tell you how thick, except to say it should be thicker than gravy but not as thick as pudding.Bring to boil and then simmer until thickened.Slowly add milk and whisk into butter mixture until smooth.Simmer and stir until mixture thickens into a paste and is golden.Add flour, salt and pepper and whisk into melted butter until smooth.In same pot over low heat, melt the butter.

Cook macaroni according to package instructions.
