(... sure the boxed stuff is cheaper, but it's always fun to try something a little different!)

1 1/2 c. uncooked macaroni
2 T. butter, melted
1 pound cheddar cheese
1/4 c. breadcrumbs
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. grated parmesean cheese

Stir in the milk, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Grease an 8X8 inch baking dish (or 2 quart casserole dish). Pour in the macaroni mixture. Sprinkle with the reserved cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir. Top with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake for an additional 15 miuntes. Serve.
