Here is how you make El Pollo Loco Macaroni and Cheese:

Cook the macaroni according to the package directions for about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a small nonstick saucepan, combine the flour with 2 Tbsp milk. With a Teflon whisk, whisk until smooth. Tip the pan slightly, if needed, to pool the mixture. Slowly add the remaining 4 Tbsp milk, whisking constantly, until no lumps remain. Place over medium heat. Add the cheese and salt. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese melts and the mixture starts to thicken. It may appear lumpy at first. Add the reserved macaroni. Stir to blend well. Makes 2 servings.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DENISESHOUP.
