Add the milk bit by bit, the sauce starts off very thick and lumpy like porridge
Add more milk and stir regularly, we don't want it to boil or get a skin on top!
Add some seasoning, salt and pepper and give it a good stir
Add all the milk and cook slowing for about 20-30mins until the sauce is considerably thick like a thick gravy
When the sauce is thick turn off the stove. Add 3/4 of the cheese and stir in really well, the cheese mixture becomes nice and gooey
Add the macaroni
Stir, stir, stir
