Mac and cheese bake

What better way to finish up your leftover pasta! Prepare a bechamel sauce, mix with cooked elbow macaroni (about 3/4 pound for 4 people) add some half-and-half and 1 cup grated cheddar cheese. Pour into a baking dish, sprinkle with more grated cheese, and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F. Tip : For a meatier variation, add 4 chopped slices of bacon.
