I grew up eating a certain boxed mac and cheese. Never real homemade macaroni. I didn't understand what the big deal was until I tasted my former mother in-law's. Hers was AMAZING! I have been trying for years to get mine to be somewhere close to hers but to no avail. So I decided to ask around (couldn't ask my ex mother in-law) and after many holidays of trying different combinations, I think we've found the winning recipe! My family loved it so much this past Thanksgiving I had to make another pan of it today (3 days after thanksgiving!) I hope everyone else likes it too

I am a proud momma to 2 kids, girl 14 and boy 9. I discovered I enjoy cooking when my husband and I were still dating. He asked me to cook him a meal that didn't come out of a box (I was used to hamburger helper, Kraft Mac and cheese, etc) So I found a recipe and cooked a good meal. As I kept finding more and more recipes I got better and started winging it. Now, it's fun and I love throwing things together. My daughter is following my lead and has found she enjoys baking. Which is great because I CAN NOT bake!! I love seeing all the recipes here and being inspired to create good meals for my family.

Feel free to double this recipe. That's just too much macaroni for the size of my family...my husband, myself, and our 3 year old.

Sometimes the classic macaroni and cheese needs to be spiced up a lil so why not add some spices and change to shells.

You choose the cheese.However, a mix of White Cheddar and Parmesan, or Creamy Gouda are the go-to varieties in my house.Cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni) noodles are great if you can find them. Better texture and hold more cheesy goodness.
