   this one..

   This recipe is still more homey than upscale, but it’s too delicious not to share. It’s meant to be low-fat, so you just have to add way more Gouda than called for.

   Smoky Macaroni and Cheese

   8 ounces dried large elbow macaroni
   3 ounces smoked cheddar cheese or smoked Gouda cheese
   1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
   1/2 cup chopped onion
   3/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
   1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
   1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
   1/4 teaspoon black pepper
   1 medium tart apple, cored and coarsely chopped (2/3 cup)
   1 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese

   Directions
   1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Return macaroni to saucepan. If desired, remove any darker outer layer from smoked cheese with a vegetable peeler. Shred cheese (you should have about 3/4 cup); set aside.
   2. For sauce, in a medium saucepan combine broth and onion. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered, about 5 minutes or until onion is tender. In a screw-top jar combine half-and-half, flour, mustard, and black pepper; cover and shake well. Add to onion mixture. Cook and stir just until bubbly. Remove from heat. Add smoked cheese, stirring until most of the cheese is melted. Pour the sauce over cooked macaroni; toss to combine. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole.
   3. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake about 10 minutes more or until bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes. Top with chopped apple and Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.

   My favorite is crockpot macaroni & cheese with macaroni, cheddar cheese, canned milk and onions, topped with paprika. Place 3 cups cooked elbow macaroni, cubed cheddar cheese and one diced onion into the crock pot (or leave onion out, if you don’t like onion), and 1 2/2 can of milk. Let cook slowly for about 2 1/2 hours. Yum!

   Honestly, I simply cube Velveeta and melt it in the pasta, it’s great!

   STOVE TOP MACARONI AND CHEESE

   1 box macaroni elbows
   1 stick butter
   1 can of evaporated milk or cream
   1 lb. Velveeta cheese

   boil macaroni in salt water for approximately 7-8 minutes. You do not want it completely done because the process finishes cooking it. Drain the water off leaving about 1 cup of water in it. Mix in 1 stick of butter, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 lb. Velveeta cheese. Heat on medium on stove until all is blended.
   Put in glass dish and lay slices of cheese on top. Place in oven on broil until top is melted. Place it aside until it cools.

   As it cools it will thicken up. It will be soupy when you first make it. Enjoy!

   I actually just made mac and cheese with no box! I boil the pasta…I used egg noodles today. drain but don’t rinse, put back in the pot before it cools off put one or two handfuls of grated cheese (I use a blend of 4 that you buy already shredded and mixed “Mexican”) a splash of milk and stir, crack some pepper over it and stir again. serve!
   Wonderful and super simple. You could even do it in the microwave if you had to.

   This is from Alton Brown, one of the chefs on the Food Network. Trust me, he knows what he’s doing.

   Stove Top Mac and Cheese
   Alton Brown

   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.
