I love to eat macaroni and cheese as a comfort food but usually wind up eating the kraft microwavable variety... I would like to have some recipes that are easy and that will be from scratch not from the box... Do you have any recipes for macaroni and cheese? Please share one if you do... Thanks.

Whenever my brother is around he asks me to make him macaroni and cheese. He likes it made with noodles, Velveeta cheese, onion, milk, salt, pepper and some ground turkey.

Yeah, making homemade mac and cheese using valveeta is fine. I always love to make my own homemade mac and cheese using my own recipe in my mind. Right? I use skim milk, macaroni, white cheddar cheese, and a jar of white cheddar cheese sauce. I should use salt and pepper. For topping, I use bread crumbs and grated cheese with salt and pepper added. Right?

Hey, you guys! I always have a same great recipe in my mind to make my own homemade macaroni and cheese. All I do is get myself skim milk, a jar of white cheddar cheese sauce, any kind of cheddar cheese, and a big box of macaroni. Right? I make the cheese sauce while I boil the macaroni. Then every thing is mixed together. For the topping, I will do grated cheese with bread crumbs. Right? I bake it for at least half an hour or so, maybe longer at around 450 in my oven. Right?
