Thoroughly drain water. Mash; add salt and pepper, butter, cheese and milk; cook on low until butter and cheese have melted. Place in greased baking dish, top with crushed crackers, and sprinkle top with pepper. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, until crackers are browned and mixture bubbles. *I sometimes mix cheese, using cheddar or other cheese. The last time I made it, I mixed velveeta with a colby chipotle cheese. It gave it a nice smoky flavor. *Also, I've not done this, but I think the addition of some heat -- jalapenos or some other pepper would be interesting.
