As close the the frozen comfort food as you will find.
1. Whisk the flour into the skim milk in a small saucepan, then place it over medium-low heat.
2. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, margarine and salt and stir often with a spoon until the cheese begins to melt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Use a whisk to stir the sauce every couple of minutes so that it becomes smooth and thick.
3. While the sauce thickens, prepare the macaroni by dumping 3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni into rapidly boiling water. Boil for 8 minutes, or until tender, and then strain. You should have about 1 3/4 cups of cooked macaroni.
4. When the cheese sauce has simmered for 30 minutes, pour the pasta into a medium bowl. Gently stir in the cheese sauce, and the pour mixture into a loaf pan or casserole dish. Cover and freeze.
5. When you are ready to dive into your macaroni and cheese, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the frozen macaroni for 50 to 53 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown slightly.
Shred the cheddar cheese from a block as this tends to melt better than a pre-shredded cheddar cheese does.
