CAFETERIA MACARONI AND CHEESE
I'm not sure where the "cafeteria" comes in, but I stole this recipe from: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cafeteria-Macaroni-and-Cheese/ We like it because you don't have to fuss around with a bechamel sauce (which always goes gritty on us, it seems) and also, it tastes darn good. I think the crumbs on top are unnecessary, and the recipe has plenty of saturated fat without them, but use them if you like the crunch. We use a smoky, Spanish paprika, which adds some exotic flair, in addition to a bit of color.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 2-quart casserole with a bit of butter.
- Boil macaroni in hot, salty water for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in the microwave or on the stovetop. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
- When the macaroni is al dente, drain and toss with the 1 1/2 Tbsp butter. When the butter is melted, stir in 3 c of cheddar in small batches. Be sure the cheese melts well!
- Pour in the milk mixture and stir well.
- Pour the macaroni mixture into the casserole and top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
- If desired, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter, and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle on the paprika.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the top of the casserole.
