Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease a large rectangular baking dish and set aside.

- Drain macaroni and pour into the prepared baking dish.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add flour and stir until very lightly browned to make a roux then remove from heat.
- Heat milk in a separate pan over medium heat and whisk into the roux.
- Bring to a low boil to thicken then add remaining salt, cayenne, and cheeses.
- Remove from heat and stir well until cheese is melted.
- Pour cheese mixture over the cooked macaroni and mix well.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes then serve.
