Pack fairly well. Top with shredded sharp cheddar. Top with remaining macaroni mix. Smooth top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min. Cold in pan 20 min. This is a must.
- While macaroni is cooling, make cheese sauce.
- To make sauce: Heat butter with flour, stirring with wire whisk till smooth and lightly browned. Stir in mustard, salt, lowfat milk, cheese and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat till smooth. Set aside. To serve, carefully place a serving platter over loaf pan. Turn out macaroni onto platter; loaf should fall out easily. Peel foil from macaroni. Spoon sauce down center of macaroni loaf.
