Cheese and macaroni

This is my friend Nancy's recipe. Try it, you'll love it!!

In medium saucepan combine corn starch, salt, dry mustard and pepper. In a large measuring cup, add the cheddar cheese soup and fill with milk to equal 2 1/2 cups. Add this to your saucepan. Stir until smooth. Add margarine.

Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium high heat and boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Add elbows. Turn into greased 2 qt. casserole.

Bake uncovered in 375 degree oven 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
