Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pot or large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Add about 3/4 cup of milk and mix into butter mixture - it will become a slurry pretty quickly.
• Add remaining milk and mix so the slurry mixes in. Then add water and Seasonings.
• Add macaroni and mix. Stir occasionally as it comes to heat. When you see wisps of steam as you stir, lower the heat down to medium low.
• Stir regularly as it cooks for 9 - 10 minutes (it will bubble gently), or until the sauce thickens and the macaroni is just cooked - tender but still firm. It should still be saucey at this stage and thinner than you want.
• Take it off the stove and stir the cheese in quickly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately!!
