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.
