Try the real stuff! I challenge anyone to make Patti La Belle's "Over the Rainbow" Macaroni and Cheese, check out the link below.
It is really not that difficult to make.
I only make it twice a year, because it is so rich and fattening!
I guarantee that you will never want to eat Mac 'n Cheese out of a box again!
Over-the-Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe created by Patti LaBelle
From the show Recipes to Remember
Serves 4 to 6
Printer-Friendly Version
Patti LaBelle says that the sure sign of a good cook is if their macaroni and cheese will make you cry! According to Oprah, Patti's version just might bring tears to your eyes.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup (8 ounces) Velveeta, cut into small cubes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.
Bring the large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil, then the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.
In a small saucepan, melt eight tablespoons of the butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the Muenster, mild and sharp Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses. To the macaroni, add the half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, the cubed Velveeta, and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and dot with the remaining one tablespoon of butter.
Bake until it's bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.

I love mac and cheese, but not the stuff from the box. I mean, it's really good, but when I made it as a meal, I make homemade. Yum! I have THE best recipe from Saveur. Send me a message if you want it...it's totally good (albeit a bit on the fattening side...)
