mmmm my favorte!!

I got this recipe from Food Network (Good Eats)

Stove Top Mac-n-Cheese

1/2 pound elbow macaroni

4 tablespoons butter

2 eggs

6 ounces evaporated milk

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Fresh black pepper

3/4 teaspoon dry mustard

10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.

Boil pasta, drain. Add chunks of Velveeta, a bit of 1/2 and 1/2, and a cup of shredded cheddar. Simmer, stirring until smooth. Pour into baking dish and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, top with another cup of shredded cheddar and bake about 10 minutes until cheese is slightly crispy and golden brown.

I don't think it is possible to get any creamier than homemade mac & cheese w/ Velvetta. I was born and raised on my momma's recipe and it was made with butter, milk and Velvetta. The only other recipe that comes close and your going to think I am nuts saying this is Outback Steakhouses Mac and cheese on the kids menu (I htinkits called the queens mac and cheese). Best other than my mom's. I think I'll call my mom right now and thank her for her good food. Maybe I can talk her into making some for me this weekend!!! Good luck in your search.

EDIT: Hey if your going to thumbs down everyone because they don'ty offer you a recipe you can google yourself then I will block your worthless questions you *&*^$%$%#@@!

I make several kinds of Mac & Cheese...one of the recipes I use often is the one on the Velvetta package...however, I DOUBLE the cheese.

Now...if you want something different, try this one:

RIGATONI WITH FOUR CHEESES

1 tablespoon chopped carrot

1 tablespoon chopped celery

1 tablespoon chopped onion

1 tablespoon parsley sprigs

½ bay leaf

¼ teaspoon black peppercorns

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup grated Romano cheese

12 ounces uncooked rigatoni, cooked & drained

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ teaspoon chili powder

Combine milk, carrot, celery, onion, parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, hot pepper sauce & nutmeg in large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes. Strain; reserve liquid.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in reserved liquid. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat. Add Parmesan & Romano cheeses; stir until blended. Pour into large bowl. Add cooked rigatoni; toss gently to coat. Combine Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in medium bowl.
