This is the best mac and cheese ever and everyone should try it, it is filling and easy to make. The only thing I did different was I made a slurry with some of the milk and the flour then added it to the milk and margarine as it was heating. YUM! I also liked that it had different flavors in the casserole due to the layering of the white sauce and the cheese.
