Answer 1

Lady's Mac and Cheese-

4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.
so good.................

Answer 2

I make a great big amount of white sauce then I cube up a brick of Velveeta cheese and melt that in the white sauce. I also add Parmesan too to taste. Use lots of salt and pepper and a little ground fresh nutmeg. Boil your macaroni, drain it, and add the sauce. If you make alot of sauce and it seems like the macaroni is soup -- that's o.k because in about 1/2 hour it will be perfect as the macaroni will soak up the sauce. I put breadcrumbs on the top and drizzle a little melted butter on that and bake for the 1/2 hour or until the bread crumbs get nice and brown. (it's already hot so it's not to heat it, it's just so the cheesy sauce gets absorbed and the breadcrumbs get browned)

Answer 7

OK, don't panic..I have an easy recipe for mac and cheese.
Melt about 2 tablesp. butter or marg. in a saucepan.Slowly stir in about 1.5 tablespoons of flour until it becomes like thick sludge.Then slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly until it thickens somewhat. About 1.5 to 2 cups of milk.
Then just stir in shredded cheese to taste, at least a cup, mix in cooked noodles and bake with a sprinkling of cheese on top.I would bake it at least 25-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

Answer 10

I use the Lady's Mac n' Cheese recipe that another reviewer already kindly posted. I only use two eggs however, and I mix them into the sauce really well. (Otherwise you get little scrambled egg bits throughout your macaroni..not good.)
