Ingredients

1 pound large "shape" pasta (shells, elbows, etc.)

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons all purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1/2 pound (or to taste) American cheese

8 ounces (or to taste) shredded cheddar

1 small head broccoli

Bread crumbs to sprinkle

Butter to dot

Directions

Cut broccoli into a little smaller than bite-size pieces.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the flour and whisk and cook until smooth.

Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk, stirring until mixture begins to thicken.

Put American cheese slices (2 or 3 at a time) into sauce.

Stir to melt.

Continue until all American cheese is gone.

Drain the pasta.

Pour half the pasta into a 13x9x2 pan.

Put 1/2 the shredded cheddar on top.

Place all of the broccoli on top of the cheddar.

Add the remaining pasta.

Top with the rest of the cheddar.

Pour cheese sauce carefully over the casserole.

Sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Dot with butter.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until top is browned.
