- 1 macaroni

- 12 Kraft Deli Deluxe American cheese slices
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a casserole pan with butter or cooking spray.
-
Step 2.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions until al dente, then drain.
-
Step 3.
While the macaroni cooks, in a saucepan over low heat, combine the flour, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Once the sauce is hot, add the cheese slices one at a time, stirring until each slice is fully melted before adding the next. Continue until you've added 12 slices (or more if desired). The sauce should be smooth and creamy.
-
Step 5.
Drain the cooked macaroni and transfer it to the greased casserole pan. Pour the hot cheese sauce over the macaroni and stir until the pasta is evenly coated.
-
Step 6.
Shred any remaining cheese slices on top of the casserole. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
-
Step 7.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, watching closely so the top doesn't brown too much. Serve hot.
