Macaroni & Cheese fit for Company!

Delicious!

Company Mac & Cheese
Servings: 8

Ingredients:
7 oz elbow macaroni (you can use a whole box if cooking for more- I use Ronzoni Smart Taste)
6 Tbsp butter (split- 4 Tbsp & 2 Tbsp)
4 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 cups skim milk

1 (8 oz) package 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tsp spicy brown mustard
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
Cooking spray



Directions:
Cook macaroni according to directions.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, melt 4 Tbsp of the butter over low heat.  Add the flour and mix with a whisk until bubbly.
Slowly add milk.  Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.  Reduce heat to medium-low.
Add cream and cheddar cheeses, stir frequently until completely melted.
Add drained macaroni to sauce and stir.  Transfer to a baking dish (usually I use 9x13) that's been coated with cooking spray.
Melt remaining 2 Tbsp in a microwave safe bowl.  Toss with breadcrumbs and use to top macaroni.
Bake until browned on top- about 15-20 minutes.  If top isn't browned, just turn the broiler on for a few seconds and you'll be all set.
Yum!
