Macaroni with Oysters

Cook the macaroni in boiling salt water for 20 to 30 minutes until the starchy taste is gone. Drain.

Put a layer of cooked macaroni in a buttered baking dish, then a layer of oysters; seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper. Add a layer of white sauce and repeat until the dish is full. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake until crumbs are brown and the whole dish heated through. Chopped meat or chicken may be substituted for oysters.

Make the following white sauce:

Melt a tablespoon of fat, add 3 tablespoons of flour, adding 1 cup milk. Stir constantly until the sauce is thoroughly cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Instead of milk tomato juice may be used.
