Super Creamy and Cheesy Mac and Cheese

I really like this mac and cheese. I have used it on a few occasions when I wanted the real deal. It is also a good base. I always add a dash or so of pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and a 1/4 tsp of dried mustard. It is not enough to overpower the cheese, but just enough to add a little bit to it. Very good. Thanks for sharing!

I've been making this for years - my mother makes it the same way. But we always put the pasta in a casserole dish and pour the sauce over to coat evenly, then bake for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees (or until lightly browned)....it makes the top layer that crispy cooked cheese and it's SO delicious! (we use 1 box elbow noodles, 1 block of cracker barrel extra sharp cheddar...same amount of butter, add enough flour to make a thick paste, then add milk to thin....then cheese etc.).

Very good! I multiplied everything by 1.5 in order to make enough for an entire box of noodles. A great basic mac and cheese recipe. Thanks!

I've tried a bunch of the mac cheese recipes on food.com. This one is the family's favourite by far. Has a very cheesy taste where many others just taste "creamy". After following all the instructions here, I like to put everything in a caserole dish, add a bit more shredded cheese on top and then throw it in the oven for 20 min or so at 350. This way the top is all crusty and fantastic. But if we're in a rush, it's great just the way it is too.

Quick, simple, and no baking, awesome! I have made this several times and we love it. Especially good with large macaroni. I do always add 1/2 t of dry mustard and it gives it a kick.

I just made this for dinner and creamy as it is, we felt like it was lacking some flavor. I used Lucerne shredded sharp cheddar cheese (which made the sauce taste a bit pastey/powdery) and used three cups of noodles instead of two. Topped it off with red pepper flakes for a nice zing at serving. Did end up baking it for 20 minutes at 350 with shredded cheese on top but it didn't do much to salvage the meal. Will try with Velveeta next time as some folks have suggested.

This recipe is very aptly named. It turned out very creamy and cheesy. I liked that it didn't have to go in the oven which gives it a much creamier texture. I used a mix of Velveeta and shredded cheddar and it turned out wonderful. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Update: This recipe is in my Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbook.

very good and creamy - felt it was missing something - added some garlic salt. next time think i'd try a fuller flavored cheese- i used some shredded mexi-cheese in a bag. with sharp this would be amazing.

I was looking for an easy to make mac and cheese dish for a church function to feed at least 40 people. I found it in this recipe. It is so easy and delicious and everyone loved it. I have never made cheese sauce before but the step by step directions were perfect. I love being able to enter the number of people and get a recipe that has the exact amount of ingredients needed. This mac and cheese is creamy and cheesy just as the title says. I did add pepperoni to some of it for my husband and his dad. Huge hit!
Thank you little_spoon and Food.com!

Was very good. I plan to experiment with combining different cheeses. Also I was not sure about the texture but I think I may have cooked too long. Will definately make again and really enjoyed.

This is great - my son's favorite. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not a super healthy option. But darn tasty!

This is a good recipe. I mainly used it as a guideline as I subbed different types of cheese in it. I was using up open cheese from our fridge. I followed the recipe exactly and used 3/4 cup cheddar, 1/4 cup swiss and 1 cup of monterey jack cheese. It was so yummy. I liked the fact that you can whip this up quickly as you don't have to bake it. I love it and will use this again. Thank you for sharing with us.

Since the kind of cheese was not specified, I used a combination of cheddar and edam - both strong cheeses, and also not easy to melt. It gave a thicker consistency which made it super creamy.

This is a great recipe. But my son, who I made it for him, didn't like it. Next time I'll used a colored cheese. I used white cheddar, that's the only cheese I had. My boyfriend liked it. I like how it's creamy. Thanks Little_spoon :) Made for favorite tag game

Yum! I really loved this because it could be made on the stove top for fast preparation. I didn't measure the macaroni, so think that I may have added too much for the sauce ingredients. I did add a little more milk to try to even it out. Thanks little_spoon for a nice treat. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag.
