Mom's Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients

4 tbsp. butter
1 heaping tbsp. cornstarch
1 qt. milk (2% or whole)
3-4 c. shredded cheese
1 lb. macaroni
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
Breadcrumbs, for garnish

Directions

Cook macaroni for 6 to 7 minutes, or until slightly firm. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan, on medium-low heat. Add the cornstarch and whisk the combination into a roux. Add the milk until slightly thickened. Add cheese slowly, and continue to stir.

Mix the cheese with the macaroni, add the tomatoes, and pour into a casserole dish. Shake breadcrumbs over the top, if desired. Bake for about 30 minutes.
