Answer 1

Here are some different recipes:


Macaroni and Cheese

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
8 ounces macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish. Place the bread crumbs into a small bowl and mix well with the melted butter; set aside.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain, then place into prepared casserole dish.
While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the minced onion and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour, pepper, salt, and dry mustard until incorporated, then pour in the milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring constantly until the milk has thickened, about 10 minutes. Take the milk off of the heat and stir in the Cheddar cheese until melted. Pour cheese sauce over the macaroni, then sprinkle evenly with buttered bread crumbs.
Bake until the top is golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Answer 2

Basic cheese sauce:

First make a roux with about 2tbsp each of butter and flour. After that's cooked but still light, add milk. Stir to incorporate everything. Let it simmer 2 mins. Then add a few handfuls of shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When I'm feeling fancy I'll also add a splash of white wine, a dash of nutmeg, and/or a small amount of finely chopped garlic.

You can also use different kinds of cheese. Add some Parmesan and/or blue cheese for added zip.

Pour sauce over cooked macaroni noodles and enjoy.

Answer 3

boil your noodles and drain

In bowl scramble a couple of eggs, milk, (regular, half & half or cream, your choice)

In baking dish put noodles and egg mixture and stir. Stir in yor choice of shredded cheeses

Sprinkle with bread crumbs and more cheese if you choose and bake till cooked and melted thru.

That is simplest and easiest I know with great flavor. What will make it YOUR recipe will be milk and cheese choices and maybe some extra spices you like.
