@lucky-girl  I have found the recipe from an old Fannie Farmer cookbook to be my favorite.  You can find it online.  I add some sour cream to mix before putting in the pan to bake for an evev better taste.

I always make Ina Garten's recipe for Mac 'n Cheese (including sliced tomatoes on top) (I probably add more cheese than she does ... not more gruyere though) -- everyone loves it!!  So easy to make.  You can find it on the Food Network, if you'd like to make it.  Good luck.

@lucky-girl , this is a very easy but quite delicious slow cooker version for mac 'n  cheese.  This is the recipe as I received it:

SLOW COOKER MACARONI AND CHEESE

Cooking spray

2 eggs

1½ cups [dairy] milk

1 can evaporated milk

½ lb elbow macaroni

4 cups shredded cheddar, divided 3 cups + 1 cup

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

Coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat eggs with fresh and

evaporated milks. Mix in UNCOOKED macaroni and 3 cups shredded cheese. Stir in salt and pepper.

Transfer to oil-sprayed slow cooker, and sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. DO NOT STIR OR REMOVE LID while cooking.

Note:  These are the ingredients I added:to the recipe

white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, parsley flakes and a scant hint of grated nutmeg; 1-2 TBS butter
