My sister and I tried this recently while on a visit to our elderly father. We topped the casserole with some all-beef franks my father had in the fridge and popped the whole thing in the oven. The mac and cheese is very good, and very satisfying on a cold day. Good comfort food and very easy to make.

This is also my favorite baked mac and cheese recipe. I got it off the Creamettes box maybe 20 years ago. I use more cheese though, and I only use Extra Sharp Cheddar - the Kraft Cracker Barrel red label. I do one more thing which was the result of a daydreaming error - I thought I was boiling water to cook collard greens. I put a whole peeled onion in the water while its coming to a boil for the pasta. It's my secret ingredient that gives a nice little kick. I take the onion out before I put in the pasta. MANY people have asked for my mac and cheese recipe.

I have made this recipe for several years and it's always a hit. Everyone always comments how much better this is than recipes that call for eggs. Last night I made it for a gathering to watch the football game and the comments ranged from "Dynamite" to "Killer" and was a HUGE success. I used some Bacon Cheese and Farmers Cheese I got in the Amish Country along with the sharp cheddar - WOW!
