I boil 2 pounds of macaroni for only seven minutes!. Drain!.

While boiling preheat oven to 350o
Simmer on low two pints (a quart) of heavy cream
Add one 8 oz!. package of cubed or shredded sharp cheddar cheese
and one 8 oz!. package of cubed or shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese!.
(Extra cheeses like Velveeta are good to add and also mozzarella for that stretchy ooey gooeyness!.!.!. whatever cheese you like, add it!.)
For color add a tablespoon of tomato paste!.
Stir occasionally!.

Butter a long and deep casserole!.
Pour noodles into dish and add the hot cream mixture once the cheese is dissolved!.
Stir in five dollops of sour cream!.
Bake for fifteen minutes to twenty-five minutes depending how crispy you like the top!.

(No eggs and no salt added!.)

(This is a soul food recipe!. We know mac & cheese!. I got the tomato paste idea from Martha Stewart and I love the deep orange color it takes on!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do!.

Cook your macaroni and drain well!. Add it to a bowl large enough so it will not cook over!. Spray first with non-stick spray!.

In a smaller bowl whisk together a couple eggs and a little milk, you can use half and half if you like!. Combine this with the macaroni and salt and pepper to taste!. Combine well!. Now blend in sharp cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese (grated)!. More sharp than the other!. I use a lot I like it cheesy!.

Now fill the rest of the casserole dish up with the remaining milk and top with bacon!.

Bake @ 375 for about an hour depending on the size of the bowl you prepared!.

The bacon makes it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boil 1 lb!. of macaroni - drain, and put into a large bowl!.

Add to half a stick of butter (cut into bits) and a pint of sour cream!. Stir until butter is melted and sour cream lightly coats all the noodles!. If you need more sour cream - go for it!. Too much is better than too little!.

Add one egg!.

Add 1 lb!. (minus about a cup for the top) of your favorite cheese!. I like to use a mix of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Jack!.

Add salt and pepper to taste!.

Grease a baking dish, add the noodles, top with cheese!. Add about a cup of milk and bake at 375F until it's starting to brown and bubble!.

This is not a science - all portions can be modified to your liking!. Any spices or cheese variations can be modified!. Cream cheese can be used instead of sour cream - although the sour cream is way better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My family LOVES this, I make it quite often:

Boil and rinse, then pour into 2 quart greased casserole dish:
1 reg!. size box macaroni (or other pasta of your choice)

In a Saucepan Add and mix well before heating:

2 cups milk
2 T!. flour
2 T!. butter
1/2 t!. dry mustard
1 t!. salt
1/8 t!. white pepper or reg!. pepper!.

Heat over medium heat, constantly stirring!. When butter is melted stir in:
1 - 2 cup package of Kraft "Melts" shredded cheese (American and cheddar blend)
Not sold in all stores but try to find it, it does make a difference!. Continue cooking until cheese is melted!. DO NOT overheat this or it will curdle!.

Pour over macaroni!.

If desired (for more cheesy-ness):
Stir in some Kraft cheese crumbles!.
Top with more shredded cheese!.

Bake at 350 about 30 minutes!.
