Saucy Macaroni and Cheese

Submitted by Anissa

"My Ma always made this homemade mac-n-cheese when I was growing up. A bit more nutritious for you then the boxed type. A real comfort food! I love the flavor. I always double this recipe because we love the leftovers! Hope you do too! Try different shapes of pasta for fun!"

This recipe reminds me of my moms' recipe too, though I remember Mom using several different types of cheeses. It was a hit with the 12 yr old, and just passable for the three yr old. Next time I may try using extra sharp cheddar, as well as american, and maybe a smoked cheese with a little ham-for my husband the carnivore- but this is one I'll make again. 1BizyMom.

I made this recipe for my daughters 3rd grade class project. I had to make enough for 40 people so I just tripled all ingrediants. It was delicious. I only used sharp cheese but next time I will use extra sharp and some cheddar. I added ham to the leftovers and it was even better.Just add ham,put in oven at 350 for 25 min.
