Here is how you make Better Than Boxed Macaroni and Cheese:

Start cooking the pasta. Set the oven to 375 degrees.While the pasta is cooking (only a little over half way)in a separate pot combine the corn starch, salt, dry mustard, and the pepper.Slowly add the milk to it, cook over a med-high heat and stir constantly until it just comes to a boil.Remove milk mixture from the heat and add 1 3/4 cups of the cheese and mix in until it melts.Drain the pasta.After the cheese melts, mix it together with the pasta then put all that in a casserole dish. You may want to lightly grease the dish. Top it with the remaining cheese and bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, it should be lightly browned.PS: I had some frozen meatballs on hand. Defrosted them first and cut them into fourths, then mixed them in with the pasta and cheese before baking.Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BARETREES130.
