Preparation

Step 1

Cook macaroni according to pkg. directions; drain, and place in a buttered 1 1/2 casserole. Melt butter, stir in flour and blend well. Gradually add milk and cook over med. heat until thick. Add salt, pepper and 1 1/2 cups cheese, stirring to melt cheese. Gently mix sauce with macaroni, arrange tomato slices on top (pushing each edge into macaroni). Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 min.

I don't like to bake. It gets too dry.
