Serves 6
This recipe was found on the back of the Mueller's Elbow Macaroni box. I've included it on my blog because the recipe, in recent years, hasn't always appear on the Mueller's packaging - and if you grew up with the recipe, you'd understand my desire to be able to make one of my favorite childhood comfort foods. So, I've included it among my recipes - for posterity....
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard (optional)
1/4 tsp pepper
2-1/2 C milk
2 Tbsp Margarine or butter
2 C shredded American or Cheddar cheese, divided
8 oz Mueller's Elbows (about 2 cups), cooked 5 minutes and drained
In medium saucepan combine corn starch, salt, dry mustard and pepper; stir in milk. Add margarine. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1-3/4 cups (425 ml) cheese until melted. Add elbows. Pour into greased 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake uncovered in 375 degree (200 C.) oven 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

For variety, I've made this recipe with a blend of cheeses - the sharper varieties work better. Also, I've added chopped ham or Spam into the mixture (before baking) and served this as the main dish.
