Does anyone have a good recipe for Macaroni and Cheese?

I'm trying to make my own macaroni and cheese, but can't seem to do it right... mine gets all ';sausy';...Does anyone have a good recipe for Macaroni and Cheese?
buy some box pasta you can even buy the kraft deluxe and make it your own. buy a variety of different cheeses, some milk evaporated or regular, cream, or half and half any of these will work, a few eggs as well. boil the pasta, place in a baking dish big enough for the portion u are making. add your eggs, cheese and dairy liquid of choice, mix together and bake in the oven 350 for 1 hr.Does anyone have a good recipe for Macaroni and Cheese?
I just fry macaroni with butter, salt, and grated cheese. It comes out really sticky. (Macaroni with butter and cheese recipe at http://www.recipeomnibus.com/page13.htm)
Mine always turns out good





Macaroni cooked and drained, add a cup of milk with two eggs beat in with it. Fold in Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese (a lot), salt and pepper to taste, finish filling the bowl with half and half or milk until it reaches the top and add uncooked bacon to the top and bake @ 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour (depending on the size).





It is cheesy and the bacon on top makes it great! It was my father's favorite way of having his made. Seems to have hit a good spot with my father-in-law also. And I am always asked to bring it on holiday's.
I'm not sure how you are making your cheese sauce- it would be a lot of help to know that.





Boil the noodles. (Obv.) Set them aside and make the sauce.





In a saucepan over high heat, melt a few tablespoons of butter. Whisk in flour, and allow it to brown a little. Turn heat to low and add milk, whisking as you add. Put in the grated cheese (cheddar, and for god's sake don't use any of that stupid velveeta crap. It's not cheese, it's solidified oil.) a handful at a time, and keep whisking. Pour it over the noodles and stir it through. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top and bake at 350 until hot through.
first time I actually write it down I usually do it by eye....





2 tbsp butter


2 tbsp flour


2 cups of milk


about 2 slices of ';kraft singles';


1/4 cup Parmesan grate


1/4 cup old cheddar grated


1/4 cup gouda grated


1 small minced onion


clove of garlic minced


salt and pepper


worchestire sauce





melt butter and cook the onion and add flour...cook till bubbly add milk and whisk till thickened add the cheese little by little if you find it too thick add more milk and the spices...add more cheese if wanted......add desired amount of macaroni....





switch up the cheeses add your favorite..but I find when I replace the ';singles';....I don't get that creamy texture so I always add a few slices...but I've done it with swiss,extra old cheddar,havarti,brie,camanbert etc.....
2 cups dried elbow macaroni (4 cups cooked)


1/3 cup grated Cheddar


1/3 cup grated Swiss


1/3 cup grated Jack


1/3 cup grated colby


1/3 cup grated Muenster


1/3 cup grated Gouda


1/2 cup sour cream


4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces


6 eggs


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1 cup milk


Nonstick spray


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





In a large pot, bring water to boil. Season water with salt and cook macaroni until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl and while pasta is still hot add all the cheese. In a separate medium bowl, using a whisk, combine the sour cream, butter, eggs, salt, pepper, and milk and add to the macaroni mixture. Spray casserole dish with nonstick and pour macaroni mixture into the dish. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Top with additional cheese, if desired.





You don't really have to use all those types of cheese if you don't want, just mix and match to taste as long as the amount of cheese ends up the same! =]
Go with the Blue Box of Kraft!!





Or use less milk so your sauce is thicker.
