This is the one that I make all the time. Yummy!!

Mac and Cheese

Kosher salt
Vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni or cavatappi
1 quart milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces Gruyere, grated (4 cups)
8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 pound fresh tomatoes (4 small)
1 1/2 cups fresh white bread crumbs (5 slices, crusts removed)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and stir well. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish.
Slice the tomatoes and arrange on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

If I make it for my grandkids, I leave the tomato off.

Answer 8

Baked Macaroni and Brie

8 oz. dry pasta
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
7 oz brie, rind removed (about 6 oz. without rind) and cut into chunks
salt and freshly-ground pepper
1/2 cup cracker or fresh bread crumbs
3 tbsp. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a medium casserole dish or 4 individual 2-cup dishes and set aside.

Boil pasta to al dente. Drain. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring continuously, 2 minutes, to form a golden brown roux.

Stir in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously, then reduce heat to low. Add cheese and continue to stir until melted and smooth, a few minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss in drained pasta, combine very well. The idea is to let the sauce soak into the nooks and crannies of whatever pasta you're using. Pour into buttered dish(es).

Stir together bread or cracker crumbs with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over dish(es). Bake 15 minutes. Bake until topping is golden. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

If you're not crazy about brie, substitute gruyere or sharp cheddar.

Answer 9

SUPER EASY with minimal ingredients !!!

Cook whatever pasta you want and stir in one to three(depending upon how saucy you want) cans of "Frito's" cheddar cheese sauce. Add some salt and pepper, taste, adjust seasonings, and eat ! You can add some shredded cheese of your choice too... any flavor you like !!

I take this canned cheese dip on trips to Europe and make it for everyone I visit... they love it!!!

I always have a can or two on hand for an emergency "mac & cheese" attack !! : )
