you can use Kraft mac and cheese. The box tells u how to make it. its a very simple process. but since ure still a kid then it might be a problem draining the hot water off the pasta but... u could prob'ly handle it.
Walkers is the one
Go to recipes.com there should be plenty of recipes of all varieties.
Hi, here's the recipe I got from FoodNetwork's own Alton Brown - Stove Top Mac and Cheese. If your Dad doesn't like hot sauce, eliminate 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce. Have fun cooking!





1/2 pound elbow macaroni


4 tablespoons butter


2 eggs


6 ounces evaporated milk


1/2 teaspoon hot sauce


1 teaspoon kosher salt


Fresh black pepper


3/4 teaspoon dry mustard


10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded





In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.





Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.
They sell it already made in microwave bowls at the store. it is in the frozen foods
buy a box and the recipe is on it
Elbow Macaroni is the most common but you can use any pasta, like the tubes, etc. Most boxes in the grocery store has the recipe printed on the package, so you can get the ingredients right there.





If you are a kid, the easiest recipe is the Kraft or Velveta boxed kind from the grocery store.... or get the frozen ones like Stouffers. That one tastes the best, and you get the ';big size'; for the families, and it will feed 4-6 people.
In saucepan warm some milk and butter and then add grated Velveeta cheese salt %26amp; pepper and then pour over cook pasta and top with more grated velvetta and bake for 20 min on 375.Just use big elbow macaroni and always use Velveeta because it's creamy and doesn't clump and is deliscious,also you can look in the freezer deptment of your grocery store (or ask the butcher to help) and buy some frozen Chicken Kiev and cook for 45 min in the oven at the same temp and buy some good bread and a bag of salad and you have a completa meal cheap and easy!!

walker taylor`s answer looks good, but I'd add tomatoes to the mix (tinned is fine) to give it some extra oomph, your Dad is very lucky, good on you!
