Macaroni and Cheese - Comfort Food

It is winter, and one of my favorite dishes for a cold Sunday evening is Baked Macaroni and Cheese.  Don't worry about points or calories.  This is a diet buster of a dish.

6 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
3 cups of milk (no fat is fine)
2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 t. salt
1/2 lb shredded swiss cheese
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb raw macaroni
cornflake crumbs

Melt butter on stove in large pot.  Stir in flour gradually.  Remove from stove.  Add milk, stirring constantly and blend well.  Return to the stove and heat on medium heat.  Add cheese and stir until cheese melts and mixture thickens.

Cook macaroni as directed on package.

Put macaroni in buttered 9 x 13 pan.  Cover with cheese sauce.  Sprinkle with cornflake crumbs.  Bake 350 for one hour.
