8 tablespoons butter or margarine (you can use half the amount)
Melt butter at simmer temperature. Add macaroni, onion, green pepper, salt, oregano, pepper and dry mustard. Cook on medium heat stirring occasionally until onions become transparent. Add water and bring to boil. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until macaroni is tender.
Sprinkle flour over mixture and blend well. Stir in evaporated milk, pimiento and shredded cheese. Cook 5 minutes longer at simmer until cheese has completely melted, stirring occasionally.
Poster's Notes:
I substituted fat-free evaporated milk and low fat cheese for my husband who is on a low cholesterol diet and used roasted red pepper strips instead of pimientos for added flavor.
