Mac N' Cheese From Scratch

My boys are big fans of mac n' cheese. This makes great leftovers. Just talking about it makes me want to make it again!

1 box or 1 3/4 c. elbow macaroni (uncooked)
3 T. butter
2 T. flour
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I never measure so make sure you have at least 2 cups)
3 slices cooked and crumbles bacon
(this ingredient MAKES this recipe so never skimp on the bacon!)
(Then you can add whatever you want veggies wise. You can add them into the mac n' cheese or as a side)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook macaroni according to package. Meanwhile, melt butter in large sauce pan on low heat. Stir in flour; cook 2 minutes or until bubbly. Gradually stir in milk; cook on medium heat until mixture comes to boil, stirring constantly. Simmer on low heat 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese; cook and stir 5 min or until melted. Drain macaroni and add to sauce. Add bacon and mix lightly. Spoon into 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Back for 20 minutes or until heated through.
