Answer 1

Baked Macaroni & Cheese

½ cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 lb. macaroni, boiled al dente, according to pkg. directions
1 cup white sauce** (recipe below)
1½ c ups yellow cheddar cheese
1½ cups Muenster cheese

Heat the milk and cream together in microwave. Melt butter in large saucepan, then add all the flour stirring constantly. Let cook for 4-5 minutes, continuing to stir. Remove from heat and add warm milk and cream while whisking -- if sauce is too thick, add a touch more milk. Add cheese to white sauce and stir. (Save a bit of cheese for the topping.) Stir sauce into macaroni and place in a buttered casserole dish. Place in 350° oven until slightly brown and bubbly on top -- 25-30 minutes.

Answer 6

This is basically how I make my Macaroni & Cheese. If I do not have Velveeta Cheese I use another brand of Cheddar Cheese.

Mom's Macaroni and Cheese
1-1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
5 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Add the cheeses, stirring until cheese is melted. Drain macaroni.
Transfer macaroni to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over macaroni; mix well. Melt the remaining butter; add the bread crumbs. Sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30 minutes or until heated through and topping is golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

Answer 7

Ok off the top of my head...boil a couple of cups of macaroni until done. Drain and place in an oven proof dish. In a saucepan, melt about a teaspoon of butter on low heat and add a couple of tablespoons of flour. Slowly add about a half a cup of milk while constantly stirring. Wait until it thickens up, might have to add more flour. Add a dash of pepper, a quarter cup of chedder cheese. Once the cheese has melted, pour over macaroni. Stir it all up. Cover the top with a bunch of mozzerella cheese and bake in the over for 1/2 and hour at 350.

Answer 8

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.
