- 1 (16 ounce) boxbarilla plus elbow macaroni
- 6 tablespoons smart balance margarine
- 2 -3 tablespoons flour

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, to taste (I like Lots of pepper)

- 8 ounces low-fat Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 4 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- In a large non stick pot, cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside.
- In the same pot melt butter.
- Add flour, stir until well blended.
- Pour one cup milk in gradually; stirring constantly.Bring to boiling point.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Add shredded cheddar and cubed Velveeta a little at a time, simmer until cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
- (If necessary slowly add up to the other half cup milk to keep cheese sauce thin enough to stir effectively).
- Turn off flame.
- Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.
- Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish, cover with tinfoil(spray tinfoil with baking spray so it does not stick).
- Bake 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Top with 4 oz sharp cheddar and allow to melt before serving.
