Okay, many homes eat macaroni and cheese OFTEN. How do you prefer it? For years I made it from the box. Now that I have learned to make it the homemade way, my family prefers this way.

I use the box just because that is the only way I know how to make it. Would you please share your recipe. I would much prefer homemade, just don't know how to do it. thanks.

The way I do it is simple. I cook the noodles (either elbow or shell) then drain. I then will cut up some velveeta cheese and pour a little milk and heat up on low. Just cook for a few minutes, then sit for a few. It is yummy. If you don't like velveeta, campbells makes a cheese in a can that is also good.

I always make it from the box. I can get a box for only 33 cents at our walmart supercenter. I can't really beat that by making it from scratch. Plus if it doesn't look just right - my daughter won't touch it.

My daughter just started eating it and she's 17. We can only do the box kind. I have made homeade but she won't eat it. I prefer homemade over the boxes except for shells in cheese. I just love the box one.

My family prefers homemade as well, although we still eat some box. My husbands mac n cheese is the best but he's not home very often to make it.
