If you like spicy (for the adults) add the chipolte sauce. If not and for the kids, don't. You can cut down on the cheese and cream and it's still great. |

Southern Style Macaroni (the real deal!)
1 eight ounce package macaroni 2 cups grated cheddar cheese (8 ounces) 1 3/4 cups whole milk 3 eggs 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook macaroni and drain. Place drained macaroni in a saucepan and add remaining ingredients, except for 1/2 cup grated cheese. Mix well. Over medium heat, cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese melts. Turn into greased 8" square baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. |

This one:
http://www.melindalee.com/index.php?option=com_garyscookbook&Itemid=6&func=detail&id=738 I made it for the first time for Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. I now have to make it at least once every other week. Very tasty! My only tip: use really good cheese! |

I like Ina Garten's Grown up mac & cheese, which was a hit with little kids even though is has some blue cheese in it (I didn't use the basil):

This one, but sub sharp cheddar and pepper jack for the cheese martha recommends. And add a little dry mustard (1/2 tsp to 1 1/2 tsp depending on how sharp you like it). Will be wonderful. |

meanwhile, in a pot, heat 3/4 stick of butter on medium heat. when that melts, add about 1/4 cup of flour, whisking the entire time. That will thicken slowly add 2 cups of warm miilk...whisking. keep gently stirring until it thickens. add two cups of shredded cheese add about 1 tablespoon of worchestershire and a tsp of mustard if you want mix in pasta dump in dish - sprinkled with buttered bread crumbs 350 for about 25 - 30 mins i bought the wrong cheese at TJ a couple of weeks ago - and had to use 2 cups of smoked cheese - it was yummo, but next time ill do one cup smoked and one cup sharp cheddar |

I realize this recipe may not sound as fancy as some of the other ones posted, but it was given to me by a long-time southern cook. Kids love it--probably because of its simplicity and basic cheese and pasta taste (but still rich-tasting). |

| Barefoot contessa has a great version (not the ble cheese one, which would probably also be great). |

Because her ability to spell has a huge influence on whether or not she can pull off a great batch of baked macaroni and cheese! Jerk. |

Op: Thanks to everyone but 8:45 (i was asking for a recipe a not a spell check!!)
All of these sounds delicious and I will definitely have to try several to figure out which one we like best. One quick question: for those recipes that require dry mustard can I substitute that with regular mustard? |

For sure, I think it would be a mistake to make that substitution in the recipe for southern macaroni that I posted. Don't know about other recipes, although I've never done it. Have fun cooking and tasting! |
