Grandpa Bill's homemade Mac.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and stir it with a wooden spoon or spatula for around 3 minutes, until the roux is frothy and the taste of raw flour is gone. Meanwhile, heat the milk in another pan. Add the warm milk gradually to the roux, stirring hard all the while. Turn up the heat and cook, stirring, until the sauce is just at the boiling point. Turn down the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes. How add the pepper and tabasco. Don't be afraid of the Tabasco; it will help bring out the flavor of the cheese. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer a little longer, until the flavors are blended.
Cook and drain the macaroni.
Mix 3/4 of the grated cheese into the simmering sauce. As soon as it melts, combine it with the drained macaroni and pour it into a baking pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20-30 minutes in a 350* oven.
