Cruising Facebook and ran across this.  Posted by Christine Ann Lynch.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup of flour

3 cups milk

2 tsp dry mustard

4 cups grated cheddar

3 cups macaroni

1 tsp salt

Pam Cooking Spray

1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional)

Stuff you will need

Dutch oven

Whisk

Pot big enough to cook your macaroni

Colander

Wooden spoon

Casserole Dish

Directions

Cook 3 cups macaroni noodles and drain in colander.

Melt butter in a Dutch Oven, along with flour. Cook and stir until well blended and smooth. 

Pre-heat oven to 400F.

Gradually add 3 cups whole milk. Continue to cook and whisk until thick and creamy. 

Remove from stove and add 2 tsp dry mustard and 4 cups grated cheese. I used Old Cheddar this time. Add 1 tsp salt and stir. 

Add cooked macaroni noodles and stir.

Add everything to a pre-sprayed casserole dish with Pam Cooking spray and top with more grated cheddar and bread crumbs or fried cubed bread, if desired.

Bake for about 30 mins at 400 or until golden and bubbly.
