OnWorld's Easiest Mac and Cheese (at least 6 large servings)

3 tbsps butter (can use less)
2 1/2 c uncooked elbow macaroni (I used Dreamfields)
1/2 tsp salt
several grinds of pepper
a few pinches of dry mustard (if desired)
paprika (if desired)
3/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated (I used the pregrated stuff*)
1 qt milk (I used half 2 percent milk and half 2 percent Carb
Countdown**)

Melt butter in [8x12"***] baking dish. Dump uncooked macaroni
into melted butter and stir until macaroni is coated. Stir in
seasonings and then the cheese, trying to distribute the
cheese pretty evenly. Pour milk over the top. Bake at 325
degrees for 1 hour.*** Do not stir while baking.
While this is not an unctuous mac and cheese, the ease of
preparation makes up for that (at least sometimes). The top
gets browned, and, at least if you bake it the 10 extra
minutes (see below), there is a nice crusty layer on the bottom.
