Recipes for homemade mac and cheese?!
Thanks a bunch
Answers: I'm looking for a recipe for homemade mac and cheese that does not call for cheese soup or for "processed cheese food". It doesn't matter if the recipe calls for exotic cheese or spicy ingredients, as long as it doesn't contain canned coup or processed cheese.
Thanks a bunch

Google "Ah Ha Mac and Cheese" Its delicious!!! and well worth all the cheese. Its also on foodnetwork.com under recipe search. I do believe that it calls for some processed cheese, but you can just not add that one in and add more of the cheddar or jack. Good Luck!!
favorite noodles shapes for your kids,grate a fresh block of favorite cheese( start with 1 cup and add more if needed.) make your mac and cheese once made place in casserole dish cover with bread crumbs and bake for 20 minutes.
I just use milk, butter, and any cheeses I can find, like mozzerella or cheddar, and microwave them to make a sauce, and put it on cooked noodles. I'm not a big fan of precise measured ingredients, so I just add stuff until it tastes and feels right
