Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups macaroni, uncooked
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add macaroni and cook 8 minutes. Drain macaroni.

While the macaroni cooks, combine 1/4 cup butter and flour over medium to low heat, whisking constantly until a thick paste forms.

Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture, adding 1/4 cup at a time and whisking between each addition. Continue until all milk is added.

Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cheddar to the milk mixture, adding a little cheddar at a time and whisking constantly. Continue until all cheddar is melted and sauce begins to thicken.

Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir to combine. Pour into a 9"x13" dish.

Mix the melted butter and Ritz crumbs, then sprinkle over macaroni.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
