Macaroni and Cheese

about 12 oz pasta of your choice
4 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
4 oz white American cheese
8 oz sharp white Vermont cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper to taste

(I also do this with yellow american cheese and yellow cheddar)

Cook pasta according to pkg directions, being careful not to overcook.  Melt butter in a sauce pan over med heat.  when the butter has melted, whisk in flour; cook for 1 1/2 minutes, whisking constantly.  Gradually whisk in milk till no lumps remain.  Reduce heat to med/low and cook milk mixture, whisking frequently, until it thickens and bubbles, about 8 minutes.  Remove sauce pan from heat and stir in the cheeses till melted.  Eat as is, or bake at 400 for about 20 minutes with some buttered breadcrumbs on the top.
