I usually make mac and cheese when I have lots of different types of cheese left over- a variety is great and makes for a tasty dish. Or add chopped ham and or green pepper… yum.

After your macaroni noodles are done drain the water and mix in heavy cream and a cup of whole milk and one stick of butter and mix in a least 3 of your favorite cheeses and mix it all together in a bowl. Get your baking dish and add cheese in the bottom of the dish so that every spoonful there will be cheese on the top and the bottom then go ahead and pour your macaroni in the baking dish and let it cook to your desire.

The recipe Skater Girl gave you is Alton Brown’s recipe. I make it at least once a month, and it is the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had. I’ve not been able to eat the boxed stuff since. It’s a lot easier than it looks, too.
Just remember to use a good, flavorful cheddar. Using one that is too mild is the only way to screw that recipe up.
