Easy and tasty. You should already have all/most of these ingredients on hand:

1 box of pasta (mostaccioli)
1 brick of cheddar cheese
1 butter
2 cups milk

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Boil 1 bag of mostaccioli pasta (or any pasta of choice).
3. Drain pasta and set aside.
4. Grate 1 brick of cheddar cheese.
5. Spray/grease a casserole.
6. Put enough cheese at the base of the casserole to coat it.
7. Put a layer of pasta on top of the cheese.
8. Put 5-6 pats of butter (not too much).
9. Repeat steps 6-7 for 2 more layers.
10. After you top the layers with the remaining grated cheese, pour milk in to the casserole (approximately 2 cups, or up to the first knuckle on your index finger).
11. Put casserole in to oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.
12. Take out of oven and let the casserole "rest" for about 15 minutes.
ENJOY AND GOOD LUCK!!

i make it like this

boil water and cook macaroni
in another pot you need to make a rue of 1 stick of butter melted down then you add flour little by little enough to make a paste out of the butter...then add 2 cups of milk very slowly mix continuously until it comes to a boil..turn it down to simmer...then add you favorite cheese/cheeses to your taste and melt them down ...when all melted down mix in the macaroni...very tasty and good.. may need to add a little salt..

another good way is to just melt some velvetta cheese in your macaroni noodles..it is easier

I use kraft deli deluxe cheese in my homemade mac in cheese. It melts all the way without getting oily, clumpy or having all the cheese get stuck to the spoon. And my family likes it better than velveeta

3 tbs butter equal part of flour
melt butter in pan, add flour and whisk util pretty yellow
add 3 cups of milk stirring until bubbly and thick ( I add milk 1 cup at a time or depending on the feel of it)
seasoning with pepper, salt, paprika, parsley, hot sauce and brown mustard (or dry).

Pure over cooked aldente elbow macaroni ( I prefer the muellars or any fat elbow (I think it holds more sauce, dumb right LOL).
Fold in cheese lots of cheese, I like to use ricotta and an egg, white cheddar, sharp cheddar, montrey jack, anything on hand thats not stringy.
Top with some coursley chopped croutons, bread crumbs that you toasted, ritz, cheeze its, what ever i find french fried onions was good. Just somethign that gives you a crispy texture on top, I always end with more cheese on top when serving. ( I love cheese)
Bake 350 til bubbly and golden
