    This is easy to make. Here’s what you do. First, boil the pasta until it’s at the desired tenderness. Then drain it. Then grate sharp cheddar (or whet ever you like) onto the hot pasta. Maybe add a little bit of velveta for smoothness. Then, after the cheese melts add a touch of milk. If the cheese doesn’t melt all the way, put the cheesy, milky pasta back on the burner and stir it around on heat until the cheese melts. The best kind is when you mix a couple kinds of cheese, like a quick melting one and a sharp cheddar. This is easy to do and delicious.

  3. I’ve honestly never had mac n cheese from a restaturant that I have raved about, but I do have an easy recipe that makes a very creamy mac n cheese. In a slow cooker, put one stick of butter or margarine, 2 cans evaporated milk, 1 tsp salt and 1-2lb block of velveeta cheese. Cook on low 2 hours or high 1 hour, stirring occasionally until smooth. Add 1 pound cooked elbow macaroni pasta and cook another hour on low or 30 minutes on high until thickened. Serve. Keep on warm so that it doesn’t overly thicken.

    I use fat free evaporated mil and 2% velveeta and it’s tastes the same as the full fat stuff.

    This is my favorite recipe:

  6. you want to make a sauce called bechamel’ it is one of the classic 5 mother sauces. It starts with a blonde roux then add chicken stock or broth and cream, (NOT half and half or milk!) and stir till it comes to a boil. drop it to a simmer and add a onion pique which is a onion with cloves stuck in it. let simmer for about 15 minutes then strain sauce. while its hot u fold in the cheese you are using. I use smoked gouda and cheddar. season with salt and white pepper to finish. Then fold it in with your elbow macaroni. Place in a greased pan top with plain bread crumbs and parmesean and bake at 375 for 15 minutes.

  7. 4 slices bacon
    8 ounces macaoni
    1 onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    3-4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
    8 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups milk

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
    In a large pot with boiling salted water cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
    In a medium skillet saute the chopped onion, and minced garlic. Take off heat and add chopped cooked bacon and set aside.
    To make the sauce, in a medium saucepan melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and continue stirring until thickened. Stir in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
    Combine cooked pasta, sauteed vegetables and sauce. Pour into a 2 quart casserole dish. Add the last cup of grated Cheddar cheese to top of mixture.
    Bake uncovered in preheated oven until cheese on top is melted and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

    MACARONI AND CHEESE

    2 c. (8 ounces) elbow macaroni
    1 stick butter
    1/4 cup minced onions
    3 tbsp. flour
    2 c. of milk or light cream
    1/2 c. dry white wine (or water)
    2 c. grated sharp cheddar (1/2 pound)
    1/2 cup bread crumbs (topping)
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    Cayenne to taste 1/2 tsp. paprika

    Bring 4 qt. salted water to a rapid boil and cook the macaroni until not quite tender. Drain macaroni and set aside.

    In saute pan, melt 1/2 the stick of butter (or 4 tablespoons). When melted, stir in the breadcrumbs and toast just until lightly browned. Remove breadcrumbs from pan and set aside. Wipe pan clean with paper towel and re-use for next step. Breadcrumb topping: Melt remaining butter, add onions, and stir over low heat until onions are just translucent, but not browned. Stir in the flour and seasonings. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, then gradually stir in the milk or cream.

    Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Add cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts.

    Combine the macaroni with the cheese sauce. Turn out into a generously buttered casserole dish (approximately 1 1/2 quarts). If you have any extra grated cheese, you can sprinkle this on top along with the 1/2 cup of buttered, toasted bread crumbs.

    Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 20 minutes or until heated all the way through and golden brown on top

    This is the copycat recipe for Cracker Barrell Mac and Cheese and it’s great!

    Cracker Barrel Mac & Cheese

    2 tablespoons flour
    1 cup chicken broth
    1 cup cream
    4 cups shredded Colby cheese
    2 1/2 cups uncooked pasta — elbows, etc.
    1 teaspoon salt

    In a sauce pan melt butter over medium low heat then add the flour a little bit at a time while whisking to make a roux. Heat the broth. Next add the broth to the roux, stir with the whisk. This will thicken as it heats. Next add a little cream watch for consistency.

    Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a separate pot, add salt, and pasta.

    In the other pot add shredded cheese a 1/4 of a cup at a time while stirring with a spoon. When you have about one cup of cheese in you can add the rest of the cheese.

    Cook the pasta al dente. Strain and combine with the cheese sauce.

    Pour the mix into a casserole and bake uncovered in a preheated oven set to 350°F for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the mac & cheese, you want it to brown around the edges and in patches on top.

    Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy

    My friend Sarah made this for us and it was hands down, the best home made mac and cheese I have ever had. It wasn’t the quickest, easiest recipe ever but, it was SO worth the effort. She also added a bit of shredded parmesan cheese to it.
