Question

and not out of the box!

Answer 1

This recipe was new to me when I made it a couple weeks ago, but I will NEVER make another recipe--it was PERFECT!
2 c uncooked elbow mac 1/2 c. butter, cubed
1/2 c flour 1 1/2 c milk
1 c (8 oz) sour cream 8 oz Velveeta, cubed
1/4 c grated parmesan 1/2 t salt
1/2 t ground mustard powder 1/2 t pepper
2 c (8 oz) shredded sharp cheddar

Cook macaroni as directed on package.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy pan, stir in flour til smooth. Add milk gradually, then cook until thickened. Reduce heat, stir in sour cream, cubed velveeta, parmesan, salt, mustard & pepper; stir until cheese melts & mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Drain macaroni VERY well, toss with shredded cheddar.Place mixture in greased 3 quart baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over and mix well. Bake uncovered at 350 for 35-45 minutes---til bubbly & slightly browned.

I guarantee this is the BEST you will ever eat!!!

Answer 2

Ok, these originate out of the box, but they are yummy.

Mac and cheese with:
Tuna, shredded chicken, seasoned (cooked) ground beef, hot dogs, Polish sasuage,

Chili mac:
Velveeta mac and cheese made according to the directions on the box and ad a can of chili.

Or Buy regular mac and cheese and instead of the milk and butter add a small can of cream of mushroom soup, I imagine you could use cream of chicken as well. With this you can also add any of the ingredents I listed above, Except the chili of course.

You could probably add in a can of cream of broccoli and some bacon bits, that sounds good... Or ham chunks.
Really... anything pretty much goes well with mac and cheese.

The Lady's Cheesy Mac by Paula Deen:

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.

Answer 5

Ingredients:
Macaroni, cheddar cheese, that mozzerella cheese that comes in little shreds, milk, and butter

Instructions:
Put the Macaroni on the stove(in something) and follow the directions on the box, just not using the box's materials, and then sprinkle the shredded cheese over top. I hope this works out for you.

Answer 6

when i was a starving college student i still remember the good weeks where you had money to cut up a few hotdogs into slices to mix into my mac and cheese 12 boxes for 2 dollars.
a real feast was a peice of smoked polish sausage, and a few tabs of butter of the mac and cheese. you would save the sausage for when that cute girl from math class came over and you got high.

Thanks for the memorys

Answer 7

i use either elbow macaroni or the small pasta shells
evaporated milk/or regular milk
velveeta cheese
any shredded cheese you want
1 egg (if you plan to bake it, if not, then it's optional )

I don't use exact measurements because it's so simple that you can't really mess up mac n cheese
i bake it at 350 for 20-30 mins or until the top layer is golden brown and slightly hard.

Answer 8

Grandma's recipe;

macaroni
Cheddar cheese (I just use tons)
cream of mushroom soup
I think she used to use condensed milk or evaporated milk or something, but I just use milk

It goes over great wherever I take it - disappears before anything else.

Answer 9

I once made some that was so good, I used about a tablespoon of Chipole whole grain mustard and a topping of fresh whole wheat bread and butter.
