How to make homemade macoroni & cheese?!
Answers: I consider myself a fairly good cook, but I have never mastered this. Grandma made it very creamy and would bake it til the top browned crisply. I would love to make it for Christmas. Please help.
GOLDEN BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE

3 cups milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Blend in flour and gradually add the milk, stirring constantly; add the seasonings. Cook until the sauce is thickened.
Add one cup grated cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Cook macaroni as directed, drain, and add to cheese sauce and mix well. Turn the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish or pan. Sprinkle the top with 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake in a 200°F oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and place under the grill until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Serves 6-8.

I have never baked mine before but here is how I fix my homemade mac and cheese...
I boil my noodles..whether it be the shells or regular mac until they are good and done. I put them in a collander to drain off the water and then I return them to the stove. I add a little bit of milk in there....but do not cover the noodles with the milk. I add some salt and pepper and then when the milk is almost boiling....I cut up pieces of velvetta and stir it into the milk and let it melt.....sometimes I slip up and put too much milk in there and is kind of runny....
I would say you could make it this way and then pour it into a baking dish and sprinkle with some shreddred cheese and pop it into the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes until it is golden brown
Everyone I work worth makes the Over the Rainbow Mac & Cheese that Patty Labelle had on Oprah! It is to die for! Do a general search for it. It's the best!
Use elbow macroni, boil them until they're moist, drain the water out, add on specifc cheese of your choice and stir.
