Leon’s Crowd-Pleasing  Macaroni and Cheese

Boil large macaroni shells.

Add grated sharp aged cheddar cheese to a thin white sauce made with butter, milk and corn starch.

Add a package of little beef cocktail weenies.

Sprinkle with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and top with crumbled Ritz crackers.  Pop in the oven until the cheese melts and the top browns.
