Answer 2

Mac & Cheese
From Scratch with Real Cheese

2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
pinch of pepper (optional)
12 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb macaroni, cooked & drained

Melt the butter in a meduim saucepan on medium heat. Watch the butter until it stops bubbling -- this means the water is evaporated. Add the flour and whisk into the butter. Cook it until it is golden, whisking to remove any lumps.

Heat the milk in the microwave until hot but not boiling. Pour the milk a bit at a time into the pot, whisking it into the butter. Continue doing this until all the milk is incorporated, and you have a thin sauce. Add the cheese, sliced thin or grated. The cheese should melt and be suspended in the sauce. Add the salt and seasonings.

Mix the mac & cheese sauce together and put in a casserole dish. Top with additional cheese, breadcrumbs, and dot with a bit more butter. Bake until golden & bubbly.

Four Cheese Macaroni

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
9 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces cubed processed cheese food
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain well and return to cooking pot.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 tablespoons butter; stir into the macaroni.

In a large bowl, combine the Muenster cheese, mild and sharp Cheddar cheeses, and Monterey Jack cheese; mix well.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Add the half and half, 1 1/2 cups of cheese mixture, cubed processed cheese food, and eggs to macaroni; mix together and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased deep 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbling around the edges; serve.

Answer 4

This is my grandmother's recipe:

1 box elbow macaroni

2 cans of evaporated milk

1 can of water

3 to 4 ounces of Velveeta, cubed

salt & pepper to taste.

Cook the elbow macaroni until it is still very firm, drain, and place in an oven safe casserole dish. In a sauce pan, combine the evaporated milk, water and cubed velveeta. Heat over a medium low flame, stirring constantly, until the velveeta is melted and the sauce is just starting to bubble.
Add salt & pepper to taste. Pour over the macaroni, it will be soupy, but the excess will be absorbed by the cooking pasta. Sprinkle with paprika, cover, and place in a 350º oven for about 45 minutes.

Delicious hot,.. even better cold, in my opinion.

Answer 5

i love the way my husband makes it ... i don't know the exact recipe, but here's one that's pretty close ... but instead of velveeta cheese, use pepper jack. mmmm!
