I melt 4 tablespoons of butter, stir in 4 T flour, slowly add 2 cups of milk , stir until it thickens. Turn down the heat, add a 1/4 lb of velvetta and a 1/4 lb american.

Add 2 cups cooked elbows and bake. Comes out creamy and yum.

I've tried many different cheeses and recipes and I go back to this one.

Also I have found, don't add too many noodles, they absorb a lot of the liquid and will dry it out. I make sure mine looks "soupy" when I put it in the pan to bake.

I've found the creamiest mac and cheese starts with a white sauce like the first recipe in this thread. When I was a home ec major in college, this is how we were taught to make it. Mom always used the eggs and custard recipe and it had bits of egg in it. I wouldn't eat it. Yuck.

I always make it with the white sauce and cheese also. It is always creamy and delicious.

Cauliflower and cheese is not mac and cheese on any day!!

My mac & cheese might get "frowned upon" by some but it is stove top (can't stand baked)...very simple...boil your macaroni drain and add back to same pot (on low), add butter & Velveeta & milk , stirring until it is as creamy as your family likes!! Done!!

Always creamy & don't spend a fortune on different cheeses or much time getting it ready!!

I use my mother's recipe and it's milk, flour, butter and Velveeta.

Mr. oceantown says the same thing, lol.

I think this recipe is more delicious than mac & cheese made with noodles. But, that is me, and I like knowing it is a low carb recipe. I have even made pizza crust from cauliflower, and it is delicious too.

But, I know it is not really "Mac", which is why it is in quotes. I have never tried this recipe with noodles, but I bet it would be delicious.

Everything is better with cheese on it!

Add cream cheese to any cheesy white sauce until it is as creamy as you like.
