How to Make Three Cheese Macaroni

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  5. Increase heat to medium. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
