Oh, and please only give me the recipe if you've tried it already (and let it taste good). Please don't just give me any random recipe. Thanks ;)A Good Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe?
Best Baked Macaroni Cheese Recipe
This really is the best baked macaroni cheese recipe.
One of the reasons I love it is that it's one of the easiest recipes to put together - just layer the ingredients and pop it in the oven.
I have used cheddar cheese in this recipe but feel free to vary the cheese you use to give it a different flavor.
I have used several mixes of my favorite cheeses and many work very well.

Cook macaroni in salted boiling water until almost soft (al dente). Drain well.
Grease a large shallow casserole and place a layer of macaroni on the bottom, sprinkle with cheese, butter, flour and seasonings. Continue to layer until all ingredients are used evenly in the layers. (3 layers works well)
Pour milk over all. Top with buttered bread crumbs.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo鈥?br>

Variations:
* As I suggested above, try this recipe using different cheeses. A mix of 3 or 4 of your favorite cheeses would be great. The recipe works best with firmer cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, Monterey Jack or Gruyere because they melt so well and this recipe needs the melting to bring everything together. Cottage cheese would not suite this recipe.
* You don't have to use the traditional small macaroni in this recipe. Try shaking it up a bit by using other pasta shapes, like penne, corkscrew rigatoni or even wagon wheels for the kids. They'll love it.
* Using unusual pasta shapes and a mix of cheeses elevates macaroni and cheese to a whole new level. It makes it a dinner you can serve to guests.A Good Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe?
Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
pinch cayenne, or to taste
2 1/2 cups grated Extra Sharp white Cheddar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Macaroni will further cook in the oven, do not over-cook. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain well.
Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to let the flour brown. Using a whisk, add the milk in a steady stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne, and 2 cups of the cheese, and stir well. Add the noodles and stir well. Pour into the prepared dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese with the pecans and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving hot.
Believe me ,this one is a good one!
