Ingredients:

Serving

1 (16-oz) package large elbow macaroni
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
4 cups (16 oz) shredded white cheddar cheese
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp hot sauce
3 cups soft breadcrumbs (homemade; see note below )
6 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

Directions:

Cook macaroni just until tender according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add cheese and next 3 ingredients; stir until cheese melts. Stir in macaroni.
Spoon macaroni and cheese into a greased 13 x 9 baking dish or other large baking dish. (Dish will be very full.) Toss breadcrumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter until crumbs are well coated. Sprinkle over macaroni.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated and top is golden.
Note: Make fresh breadcrumbs easily by tearing a few pieces from a French baguette. Pulse bread in a food processor or mini chopper until you get coarse crumbs.
