Whats a good recipe for macaroni and cheese?

Question

I want to make it creamy and rich not soupy or dry.

Answer 1

well, this is for BAKED mac and cheese, so it's more casserole, not creamy-creamy like mac and cheese from the box.

i promise, though..it's awesome. anytime i make it or my mom makes it, the pan is empty in moments.

you will need:

9x13 pyrex baking dish.
2 blocks of cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar cheese...grated
1 pound box of mueller's elbow noodles
salt and pepper to taste
a touch of milk to cover bottom of dish.

boil the macaroni and grate the cheese.

take half macaroni and spread on bottom of baking dish, flatten it out so it's an even layer. salt and pepper the macaroni.
then sprinkle half of the cheese over the macaroni, evenly.
then spoon the rest of macaroni over the cheese...evenly. salt and pepper and then remaining cheese. pour enough milk into dish to JUST cover the bottom of the dish when you look at it eye level. it will come up 1/4 inch or less.

bake at 350 about 30-45 minutes...until milk is cooked into mac and cheese.

tips:
-use these specific brands or else it just doesn't taste the same.
-use a pyrex dish so you can see the milk on the bottom to be sure it's just enough.
-leave enough cheese to totally cover the top layer, if not, then uncovered macaroni will get crunchy and dry.

i promise, if you make this...you will love it.

Return the macaroni to pot.
Add butter, milk, cheese cube and slices to hot macaroni.
Mix well, until butter and Velveeta melt. The mixture will be soupy. The cheese cubes will not melt completely.
Add peppers.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into baking dish.
Cover the top with the remaining cheese (grated, sliced or cut into cubes.)
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
You want the top to brown and the pasta to set.

Answer 3

Ok, so I cheat a little when it comes to Mac and Cheese!!! Take your favorite boxed kind and add cream cheese, or borsin herb and garlic cheese, crumbled bacon bits, and if your feeling really adventurous, tuna and green peas for a tuna casserole! I also add a squeeze of good yellow mustard in mine and diced green chilies add a bit of zest too.

Answer 4

I like to add lots of different cheeses....cheddar (both sharp and mild) also you can throw in some mozzarella..add a little milk and some butter.....and when you layer your noodles and cheese---keep your cheese thick.

I have a friend you likes to add hers all together and add some Velveeta for extra cheesy-ness.

only melt your cheese don't "BAKE" your dish...everything is done just melting.

Answer 5

I add chunks of colby-jack cheese to Annie's macaroni and cheese ( boxed-organic-YUMM!) to make it thicker.

Answer 7
