My mom used to make homemade mac and cheese, she would get the aged sharp cheddar, just mix it with the noodles,and some milk,salt and pepper and bake for about an hour or less. I have a great recipe for the cheese packs that come with the boxed mac and cheese... slice potatoes and mix with the cheese with a little butter and bake about an hour-300 degrees, really good augratin potatoes, and easy.
I normally make a ';roux'; with milk, butter, flour, salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg (5tbsp butter, 6tbsp flour, slowly add milk until you reach desired thickness, spices to taste) add lots of cheese (I do extra sharp cheddar and guyere cheese) then I add the macaroni (bake, or no bake - if baking add cheese and breadcrumbs to the top and bake until bubbly) - very yummy!
Use the boxed kind add tons of extra cheese.


Or cook noodles layer with butter, flour, and cheese. Use what ever you prefer shredded works awsome.


When you get to the top add milk and bake till cheese is melted usually a half hour at 350.


And yet another way, this is done on the stove top.


Make your noodles rinse, while noodles are in colender, melt butter half a stick or less, add flour to that till you can't add more. Now add milk stiring constantly till nice and thin, but not too thin. Add noodles and cheese usually you have to add salt to. If its to thick add more milk til the consistancy is good. This works good if you've made gravy before. Good luck hope you like one!
