NELDA'S MACARONI AND CHEESE

This is an easy mac & cheese that my friend Nelda gave me. My boys love it and it can easily be doubled to take to church suppers, etc. I'm posting it here before I lose the piece of paper I copied it down on!

Nelda's Macaroni and Cheese image

Steps:

Start cooking the macaroni.
In a medium saucepan on medium high heat, melt the butter, then whisk the flour in and, still stirring, let it cook for a few minutes until it starts to thicken. (You may have to turn down the heat a little to keep it from scorching.).
Start whisking the milk into the butter/flour mixture till combined.
Still whisking, add in the Velveeta and the sharp cheddar. Keep stirring until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in salt and white pepper to taste. You can also add a few shakes of ground mustard if you like.
By this time the macaroni should be cooked. Drain the macaroni, put it in whatever dish you're using, then pour the cheese sauce over it and mix.
