Delicious (and Easy) Macaroni and Cheese


16 oz. box of any type of pasta you like (We used small shells)
3 cups milk
3 Tbsp. flour (I actually added another half Tbsp. as the sauce wasn't thickening)
A little salt, sugar and pepper to taste (We did a little of each, but ended up adding more salt after the fact)
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Boil the box of pasta according to package instructions and drain. In a separate pot whisk together the milk and flour, and add the salt, sugar and pepper if you wish. Stir constantly until just boiling, then lower the heat and continue to stir until it thickens. Mix in the cheese and when melted, pour over pasta. Mix to combine, and voila!
You can also add other mix-ins if you would like, such as peas, bacon crumbles, cubed ham, etc, or even make this dish a casserole by topping it with buttery breadcrumbs and popping it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350.

Two of my kids worked together to make this, and the end result disappeared in minutes.
It was delicious!
