EASIEST & CHEESIEST MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is my personal recipe. I love Stouffer's mac and cheese and I decided to take a chance at making my own. This is pretty close and in a house of picky eaters, the first time I made it--it was gone in minutes. I have a rather large family, so you can halve the recipe to make for a smaller family. Also the larger recipe is good if you want to serve as a meal.

EASIEST AND CHEESIEST STOVE TOP MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is my Grandmother's recipe. I have no idea where it originated, but I don't ever remember a family gathering growing up when this was not served. It is not a gourmet macaroni and cheese, but it is fast and good. The only thing anyone ever says after eating it is "May I have some more please?".

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or try a blend of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: You don't want the macaroni to be too soft, or it will become mushy when you bake it. Cook it al dente, so that it still has a slight bite to it.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. It also adds a rich, creamy flavor. Be sure to cook the roux until it is golden brown before adding the milk.
- Use whole milk: Whole milk will make the cheese sauce richer and creamier than skim or low-fat milk. If you are using a low-fat milk, you may need to add a little extra butter or flour to the roux.
- Add some extras: Feel free to add other ingredients to your macaroni and cheese, such as cooked bacon, chopped ham, or vegetables. You can also top it with breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With these tips, you can make the best macaroni and cheese that you have ever tasted.
