Preparation

Step 1

In saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat. Blend in flour, salt, and mustard. Add milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens a little and is smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese, heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook macaroni and drain. Combine with sauce in a 2-quart casserole, top with remaining cheese, bread crumbs, and paprika. Bake at 375 for about 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned and bubbly.
