Does anyone have an excellent recipe for Macaroni and Cheese?

Yes, I do. This recipe is requested at every dinner I attend.


Cook macaroni per how many people you intend to feed by package directions. Dump in crockpot. You will have to adjust following ingredients depending on how many people you are serving, but here are the items: evaporated milk, regular milk, butter, eggs, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese. Four to one ratio of regular milk to evap milk, break two eggs into this, mix with fork, add salt, pepper, about half stick melted butter, dump into crockpot with macaroni. Add two cups each of mozzarella and sharp cheddar, turn on high until cheese is melted. YOu can adjust liquid and cheese for how ';juicy'; you like this dish. If you want, you can dump into baking dish instead and bake at 350掳 until bubbly. Everyone loves this and it's the easiest thing EVER.Does anyone have an excellent recipe for Macaroni and Cheese?

yup its called easy mac

Looking for a recipe for macaroni and cheese.?

I found a great recipe in one of those woman's magazines and my husband accidentally shredded it! All I remember is the article the recipe was in was about an African American family having a family reunion. It called for 2 oz. of mozzarella, 6 oz. of American and 6 oz. of cheddar. It was topped with 'rich' crackers (I use Ritz) My son made it the only time before the recipe was destroyed, so I don't know the amounts of the other ingredients. If you have this recipe, I'd greatly appreciate it. I haven't been able to find one that compares to this day.Looking for a recipe for macaroni and cheese.?

    Show: Tyler's Ultimate


    Episode: Ultimate Mac and Cheese


    Mac 'N Cheese with Bacon and Cheese


    Kosher salt


    1 pound elbow macaroni


    4 cups milk


    2 or 3 sprigs thyme


    4 cloves garlic, smashed and divided


    3 tablespoons unsalted butter


    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    5 1/2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar


    Freshly ground black pepper


    1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley


    4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips


    1 large onion, diced


    2 garlic cloves, smashed


    Leaves from 1/4 bunch fresh thyme





    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain.





    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.





    In a small saucepan heat the milk with the thyme sprigs and 2 garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to keep lumps from forming. Strain the solids out of the milk and whisk it into the butter and flour mixture. Continue to whisk vigorously, and cook until the mixture is nice and smooth. Stir in the 4 cups of the cheese and continue to cook and stir to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni and the parsley and fold that all in to coat the macaroni with the cheese mixture. Scrape into a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.





    While that bakes, heat a saute pan. Add the bacon, render the fat and cook until crispy. Add onion, garlic and thyme leaves and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the onion. Season with salt and pepper.





    To serve, scatter the bacon mixture over the mac and cheese. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some of the smoking bacon mixture on each spoonful.
    Ingredients


    8 ounces cavatappi, macaroni, or other tube-shaped pasta


    1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for cooking pasta


    3 1/2 tablespoons butter


    1/2 cup finely chopped shallots


    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    1 1/4 cups dry white wine


    2/3 cup heavy whipping cream


    7 ounces gruy猫re, grated


    3 ounces aged gouda, grated


    2 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. minced fresh chives


    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard


    1/8 teaspoon cayenne


    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg


    4 ounces crusty sourdough bread (about 1/4 loaf), torn into large pieces








    Preparation


    1. Preheat oven to 400掳. Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling, well-salted water until tender to the bite, 7 to 12 minutes. Drain, but do not rinse.


    2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Add shallots and cook until light golden, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle shallot-butter mixture with flour; cook, stirring often, 1 minute. Add wine and stir, picking up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add cream and stir well. Sprinkle in cheeses, one large handful at a time, stirring until each handful is mostly melted before adding the next. Stir in 2 tbsp. chives, mustard, 1/4 tsp. salt, cayenne, and nutmeg. Stir cooked pasta into cheese mixture, then pour all into a 2-qt. baking dish.





    3. In a food processor, pulse bread with remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. butter, 1 tsp. chives, and 1/4 tsp. salt until coarse bread crumbs form. Sprinkle bread crumbs over pasta and cheese and bake until top is browned and cheese is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Does anyone have a recipe for Macaroni and Cheese w/no milk?

    We have some Latose Intolerent people in our familyDoes anyone have a recipe for Macaroni and Cheese w/no milk?
    I have a lactose intolerance. Whether or not you can tolerate the other dairy products besides milk, such as sour cream, cheese, cream cheese etc, depends on how severe is your intolerance. I can have sour cream, and real (not processed) cheddar, gouda and mozza with no problem. Cream cheese is ok in very small amounts. Now, I know other people with lactose intolerance who cannot tolerate any of the above.





    To answer you question: I cook Kraft Dinner at least once every two weeks, and homemade mac and cheese at least once a month for my husband. He is a die-hard dairy boy, but what he does not know is that for the 8 months I have made both those dishes using rice milk! I find rice milk to be the perfect substitute for cow's milk, for my needs. I always buy ';Rice Dream'; or ';Natura'; brands. I have used rice milk in place of milk in a variety of baking and cooking recipes, and they come out perfect every time. The only thing I would say is for recipes where the milk would need to thicken a sauce, the rice milk does not react the same, so maybe add a bit less, say 1/4 to half less, depending on the amount called for. Happy cooking!!!Does anyone have a recipe for Macaroni and Cheese w/no milk?
    I have made Mac and Cheese using soy-based cheese substitute and lactose free milk. You grate ot finely cube the ';cheese'; and melt it down with the lactose free milk (I used ';Lactaid'; brand whole milk). Proportions will depend on the cheese substitute you use. As a rough estimate, I would start with a cup of the cheese to about 1/2 cup of milk. This should be enough to coat the resulting pasta from cooking 1/2 pound of dry pasta (spirals or elbows work best). If you cannot fond Lactaid milk, you could try plain soy milk. I don't think it would be as good though. Bon Appetite!





    Edit 1) Just saw your additional info. You can use soy milk or even try some non-dairy creamer in place of the milk.
    I use Butter %26amp; Hot water if I do not have milk...





    The best means is to put the butter in while the mac is still hot, like after you strain it.


    Then hit up the water after you have put in the cheese packet, as it will desolve most of the contents. Only use a smaller amount, because it is better to have not enough, and need to add a tad more, than to add to much, and make it crappy.

    I believe yogurt has very little lactose, so you could try that. It gives Mac n Cheese an extra tang that's really good, as well.





    Another option would be to use chicken broth and pureed butternut squash. I love butternut squash mac n cheese. I use milk instead of chicken broth, but chicken broth would work well, too, if you include the squash.
    I'd recommend making an entirely different dish.


    You can't make a bechamel sauce without milk, and cheese has lactose in it also.





    I guess you could try using Lactaid brand milk and cheese. I unfortunately cannot vouch for how it will turn out though.
    Cheese has lactose in it too. So kind of impossible to make lactose free mac and cheese...unless you have special lactose free cheese AND lactose free milk (which they do make). If they are lactose intolerant, why not just make something else??
    I'm lactose intolerant too, and the CHEESE also has lactose in it! .... You can buy shredded soy cheese though, and Lactaid or Dairy-Ease milk (which tastes just like regular milk)
    You can sub chicken stock to make your white sauce... just use chicken stock instead of milk. Or, use Dairy Ease or Lactaid milk instead of regular milk.
    just macoroni with cheese and leave some water in it and some butter
    Just buy the lactose free cheese and milk and make the regular recipe.
    Try using soy milk.

    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

    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

    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.

    Mouse's Macaroni and Cheese --











    INGREDIENTS


    1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni


    1/4 cup butter


    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    1 teaspoon mustard powder


    1 teaspoon ground black pepper


    2 cups milk


    8 ounces American cheese, cubed


    8 ounces processed cheese food (eg. Velveeta), cubed


    1/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs











    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until not quite done, about 6 minutes. Drain.


    In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour, mustard powder, and pepper until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, beating out any lumps. Add the American and processed cheeses, and stir constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.

    Where can I get a good recipe for macaroni and cheese???

    I want to make it with a runny,stringy sauce like what you get in a pub. The recipe I use normally gives a much thicker sauceWhere can I get a good recipe for macaroni and cheese???
    Found this recipe in the Sunday Paper a long time ago and it is always a big hit.





    MACARONI AND CHEESE


    1 pound of macaroni - Shape does not matter


    2 12 ounce cans of evaporated milk MUST evaporated.


    1/2 cup chicken broth (from can)


    1/2 cup butter


    1/3 cup flour


    2 pounds of shredded sharp cheddar cheese


    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated


    2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard


    Salt and pepper to taste





    Cook the macaroni until done. Drain and spread on a cookie sheet.





    Heat the milk and chicken broth in the microwave at half power until hot and steamy. NOT boiling.





    Melt butter in pan (I use the same one I cooked the macaroni in). Whisk in the flour. Very slowly, pour in the milk mixture while whisking constantly. DO NOT STOP WHISKING. Whisk until smooth. You may need to use a spoon to smooth the lumps of flour.





    Add the mustard, Parmesan and the shredded cheeses. Stir until cheese is melted. Add the cooked macaroni back to the pan. Reheat until the macaroni is hot again. Salt and pepper as desired.





    *** The actual recipe calls for sharp shredded cheese but I like to use a variety. Last time, I used some sharp cheese, but used mostly mozzarella with sundried tomatos and garlic cheese. I also change the pasta that I use. Shells or the rotini hold onto more cheese than the elbows tend to.





    Enjoy.Where can I get a good recipe for macaroni and cheese???
    I got my recipe from foodnetwork and altered the different types of cheese. Instead of using all cheddar, mix up the variety to include bleu, mozzarella, cheddar and american. If you want a runnier sauce, then just reduce your flour a little bit and maybe add a little more milk. You can also cut back on the amount of pasta you use. Just experiment until you get what you're looking for.
    You can find a good recipe on the Kraft Velveeta box !!! It is very good too !!!!! and you can always add extra cheese !!

    it's not that difficult really... boil pasta according to directions. add any kind of cheese you want (try not to use fake cheese though) put in a little butter, milk, and salt/pepper. eat.
    Once you add the cheese to the white sauce, just stir it in off the fire. The oven will melt the cheese thoroughly.

    my dad makes really good macaroni and cheese, but i don't know the exact recipe. he usually doesnt do exact measurements.





    boil as much macaroni as needed.


    when done, drain the water.


    then mix while adding a few slices of american cheese, margarine/butter, and some milk. (you can also add some cheddar cheese, or probly any type that you like)


    when you think that you added a good amount of everything and mixed it enough, you are done. it is very simple and delicious!!!


    also, it is really good with tuna.





    you should try this recipe = ]
    My favorite one that I make all the time (everyone LOVES this) is super easy.





    Take 3 tablespoons of butter and melt it in a medium saucepan over med-low heat. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and whisk together for about a minute or two, to get rid of the floury taste.





    Add 2 cups of WARM milk. Bring it up to just a boil and then turn the heat down. Let simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.





    Add 1/2 C. of heavy cream, a pinch of black pepper and hot sauce (the hot sauce brings out the cheesey flavor, so don't skimp). Stir for a minute. Add 8 oz. of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.





    Pour over 1/2 lb. of cooked macaroni noodles. Transfer into an 8x10 baking dish, add 4 oz. of shredded cheese to the top, bake for 30 min. at 350 degrees.





    It's soooooooooo good! Good luck!

    Whats a good recipe for macaroni and cheese?

    I want to make it creamy and rich not soupy or dry.Whats a good recipe for macaroni and cheese?
    well, this is for BAKED mac and cheese, so it's more casserole, not creamy-creamy like mac and cheese from the box.





    i promise, though..it's awesome. anytime i make it or my mom makes it, the pan is empty in moments.





    you will need:





    9x13 pyrex baking dish.


    2 blocks of cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar cheese...grated


    1 pound box of mueller's elbow noodles


    salt and pepper to taste


    a touch of milk to cover bottom of dish.





    boil the macaroni and grate the cheese.





    take half macaroni and spread on bottom of baking dish, flatten it out so it's an even layer. salt and pepper the macaroni.


    then sprinkle half of the cheese over the macaroni, evenly.


    then spoon the rest of macaroni over the cheese...evenly. salt and pepper and then remaining cheese. pour enough milk into dish to JUST cover the bottom of the dish when you look at it eye level. it will come up 1/4 inch or less.





    bake at 350 about 30-45 minutes...until milk is cooked into mac and cheese.





    tips:


    -use these specific brands or else it just doesn't taste the same.


    -use a pyrex dish so you can see the milk on the bottom to be sure it's just enough.


    -leave enough cheese to totally cover the top layer, if not, then uncovered macaroni will get crunchy and dry.





    i promise, if you make this...you will love it.





    take car.eWhats a good recipe for macaroni and cheese?
    Put tuna in it.
    Ok, so I cheat a little when it comes to Mac and Cheese!!! Take your favorite boxed kind and add cream cheese, or borsin herb and garlic cheese, crumbled bacon bits, and if your feeling really adventurous, tuna and green peas for a tuna casserole! I also add a squeeze of good yellow mustard in mine and diced green chilies add a bit of zest too.
    I add chunks of colby-jack cheese to Annie's macaroni and cheese ( boxed-organic-YUMM!) to make it thicker.
    I like to add lots of different cheeses....cheddar (both sharp and mild) also you can throw in some mozzarella..add a little milk and some butter.....and when you layer your noodles and cheese---keep your cheese thick.





    I have a friend you likes to add hers all together and add some Velveeta for extra cheesy-ness.





    only melt your cheese don't ';BAKE'; your dish...everything is done just melting.

    What are some recipes you make using Kraft dinner (macaroni and cheese)?

    My absolute favorite and easiest in the world!


    Cook mac and cheese as usual. While pasta is boiling, brown 1lb. of hamburger meat (or turkey works well too!). When browned, drain fat and return to pan. Add 1 teaspoon basil and one can of Italian stewed tomatoes; heat through. Once mac and cheese is made (follow box directions), add meat and mix well. Place in baking dish and bake 350 for 10-15 minutes. I personally add a little sprinkling of cheddar cheese before baking----YUMMY!What are some recipes you make using Kraft dinner (macaroni and cheese)?

    1/2 cup milk


    1 can (6 oz.) tuna, drained


    1/2 of a red pepper, chopped 1 green onion, sliced

    PREHEAT oven to 350掳F. Prepare Mac and Cheese as directed on package.


    Stir in soup, milk, tuna, red pepper and onion.





    SPOON into 2-qt. casserole dish; top with crushed chips.





    BAKE 30 min. or until heated through.What are some recipes you make using Kraft dinner (macaroni and cheese)?
    Chili mac:


    You'll need:


    1 box mac and cheese


    1 can chili (I usually use Hormel's but store brand is fine)


    1 onion, diced


    milk, the amount called for by the mac and cheese


    butter, the amount called for by the mac and cheese


    coarsely broken tortilla chips





    Boil macaroni, but maybe make it a little bit extra al dente.





    As it is cooking, in a separate pan (I use cast iron so it can go in the oven) saute a diced onion in oil or butter. When it is slightly caramelized, add a can of chili to the pan with the onion. Also add the cheese packet, milk, and butter or margarine.





    Stir, and add the macaroni to the chili, along with any other ingredients you like, like hot sauce, diced tomato, corn, whatever you like. Stir.





    Sprinkle with coarsely broken tortilla chips. The broken ones left in the bottom of a bag are good for this.





    Bake in a 350 degree oven for around 10 minutes, keep an eye on it so the chips don't burn. Eat with sour cream.
    diced chicken, roast beef, turkey, whatever meats you have, you will need about 1 to 2 cups.


    1 or 2 small cans mushroom pieces, drained


    1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted





    cook the mac according to the instructions up to draining it. Do drain then toss back into the kettle. Add the mushroom soup, mushroom pieces, 1/2 soup can milk or half n half, then stir in the meat.





    Now you can add any frozen veggies you like. I like broccoli flowerettes in this.
    you can add just about anything to it and it will be delicious


    my favs are cut up some ham and broccoli after cooking it as normal


    you could also add cooked bacon and tomato after cooking it as normal and then put it in a casserole dish sprinkle cheese on top and bake until golden brown
    I like to make it like it says on the box but I add a can of tuna and a can of mushrooms and 2 slices of chedder cheese and stir it all in well.
    the kraft website has hundreds of suggestions for using it.
    sometimes i will add vegetables like celery, carrotts peas and corn or a can of tuna and mushroom soup in with my kraft dinner
    I add a can of tuna drained


    you can also add can of cream of chicken with the tuna

    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!

    Salt


    1 pound small ridged tube macaroni, such as tubetti


    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), 1 turn of the pan


    2 tablespoons unsalted butter


    2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme


    1/2 medium onion3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    2 cups chicken broth

    1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (a couple of handfuls)


    1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (eyeball it)


    Freshly ground pepper























    1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, then add the pasta and cook until al dente.


    2. Meanwhile, heat a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, and the butter. When the butter melts into the olive oil, add the thyme, then grate the onion directly into the pot with a handheld grater, such as a Microplane. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes more. Whisk in the broth, then stir in the butternut squash and heat until warmed through and smooth.

    My mac and cheese is a little heavy on the belly, so there is no need for anything with it. I first had it at a catered event in Washington DC and came home and perfected it.





    I use cheese tortellini, not macaroni


    I use white cheddar cheese and cream cheese with whole milk and no butter.





    I cook my tortellini separate and make my cheese sauce separate and then combine the two together before browning under the broiler.





    The measurements would depend on how much tortellini you use and how many people you are cooking it for.





    2 pounds of tortellini should fill a 9x9 baking pan nicely.


    in that case I would use 1 pound of cheese to one pound cream cheese. enough milk to cream it together. Once you combine the pasta and cheese sauce and toss, pour it into a baking pan that has been greased with butter and put it under the broiler until it starts to get a golden tone to the top, not crispy.

    Oh a rue equal parts butter and flour cooked together, you could try corn starch, haven't tried it but you just want to thicken the milk a little to keep the cheese from separating.

    Homemade macaroni %26amp; cheese is a specialty which is usually made depending on individual tastes. For instance, I don't really like melted block cheese in mine, because it's greasy. I prefer something like Velveeta.

    WOW- most of the answers so far REALLY scare me.


    Macaroni %26amp; Cheese is very simple to create...





    I don't know how many folks you are trying to feed, so I'll


    try to dig a recipe for four out of my head... Okay. Measuring is


    not usually how a chef would play this game but I'll try.





    1/2 pound elbows- Cook in salted water until tender. Set aside(cool under cold water)


    Grab a quart of HEAVY CREAM. Pour it into a sutiable sauce pan %26amp; place on stove top. Set flame or electric burner on MEDIUM. Throw in a couple of shakes of WHITE PEPPER- If you don't have any BLACK PEPPER will do( 1/2 teaspoon) add some salt (1/4 teasoon- less if your not a salt person, more if you are. You can always add more, but you can't take it out!)





    Cream should come to a slow boil.(don't let it boil over, cream has a tendency to do that) turn heat down so that cream REDUCES at a steady rate without boiling over STIR occasionally.


    Add: 3 SLICES of deli (real) AMERICAN CHEESE


    8OZ of White or Yellow CHEDDAR(shredded)


    or mix them up if you like!If you're a fan of MONTERY JACK thow a touch of it in, stir, stir, stir.





    CREAM should reduce by 1/8 or so...(when there's 1/8 as much in the pot as when you started turn it OFF)


    If you're a fan of a slight mustard taste- add a touch- if not- don't.





    Give the sauce a taste. add more salt or pepper to taste





    Combine the macaroni %26amp; the cheese sauce in glass bake ware.


    Bake in a standard oven for 20 - 30 min @ 350 Degrees.


    Enjoy!


    If you can make this then you are well on your way to a dijon sauce for chicken (no cheese add dijon mustard to taste)


    or a champagne sauce (no cheese add a cup of champagne and


    2 sprigs of finely chopped fresh tarragon. reduce these sauces a little more as they need to be slightly thicker...

    Here's my recipe for mac and cheese- southern style that's baked. Boil one 8 oz box of elbow noodles until done and drain. Meanwhile, mix together one 12 oz can evaporated milk, 1 cup sour cream, salt/pepper/cayenne to taste, 1 egg, and 8-16 oz cheddar cheese. You can add as much cheese as you want but hold out some of it for the top of the mac and cheese. Mix that together and add in your cooked elbow macaroni. Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Check the mac and cheese to see if it's done. If it still looks like it has liquid left you can cook it for longer or take it out if you like creamy mac and cheese.

    Mac and Cheese Carbonara Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay








    1 tablespoon olive oil


    1-inch thick piece pancetta, cut into small dice


    3 cloves garlic, finely chopped


    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    6 to 7 cups whole milk, heated


    4 large egg yolks, lightly whisked


    2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves


    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper


    2 cups freshly grated Asiago cheese, plus more for the top


    1 1/2 cups Irish white Cheddar, plus more for the top


    1 1/2 cups Mountain Valley Cheddar, plus more for the top


    1 cup grated Fontina cheese, plus more for the top


    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for the top


    Salt and freshly ground black pepper


    1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked just under al dente


    1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley





    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 3 quart baking dish and set aside.


    Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.





    Add the garlic to the pan and cook until lightly golden brown. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in 6 cups of the hot milk, increase the heat to high and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs until incorporated and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the thyme, cayenne, and all of the cheese until completely melted, season with salt and pepper. If the mixture appears too thick, add some of the remaining milk 1/4 cup at a time.





    Place the cooked macaroni in a large bowl, add the cheese sauce, reserved pancetta and parsley and stir until combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Combine together additional Asiago, Cheddars, Fontina, and Parmesan in a bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top of the macaroni. Bake in the oven until heated through and the top is lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
