The ingredients for Light Mac and Cheese are:

2 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs Flour
Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Onion Seasoning and Garlic to taste
1.5-2 c. milk
1/3 brick Velveeta (I know, but its lower in fat and calories than cheese)
3/4 c. Grated cheddar
Macaroni (1/2 lb)
1/4 grated cheddar
Italian Seasoning Breadcrumbs

Here is how you make Light Mac and Cheese:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add equal amount flour (I typically use 2 TBS each.) Cook flour paste over medium heat for 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly.Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika to taste. Reduce heat to low. Once milk is incorporated and begins to steam add cubed velveeta. Do not let milk boil, and be careful, the roux can begin to burn if you don't stir often enough. After the velveeta has melted, add 3/4 C Cheddar. Its ok to use reduced fat cheddar, but if you do, stir constantly or it will become too stringy and you will ruin your sauce. ( I used regular cheddar in the calorie count). Layer cooked macaroni in a casserole dish that you have sprayed with Pam. I do about an inch of macaroni, then pour the sauce on, and repeat. Combine 1/4 C grated cheddar and 2 tbs breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Cover the top of the casserole and bake in a 350 oven for about half an hour. Let me know if you like it!
