While macaroni is cooking, melt butter, blend in flour, seasonings and skim milk powder.
Gradually add water.
Stir and cook until smooth and thick.
Add cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Do not boil.
Add cooled macaroni to cheese sauce.
If an oven is available, turn mixture into a baking dish, top with bread crumbs and cheese, brown at 400 F (200 C).
