Nanny's Simple Macaroni and Cheese

My husband has always talked about his mom's mac & cheese, saying that although mine is good, his mom's had that 'certain something' - I always used a flour-butter-cheese roux to sauce it - but his mom made it just like this. So I tried it tonight - cut it in half since we are only 2 - and added bread crumbs to the top mixed with 1 T melted butter. Also, I didn't have cheddar but I had muenster slices from Costco and Tillamook Pepper Jack! Then, you can kill me now, I used half milk and half heavy cream! Cut the cooking time by 15 minutes, and oh my gosh - UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. I will make this again and again. Hubby says it's almost like his mom's except the cheeses are of course different, but the effect is the same! THANKS!

This recipe makes a lot of macaroni and cheese! I used a deep 3 quart casserole and ran out of room and had to put part of it in a smaller dish. I used about 3 cups of milk total. Next time I will cut the recipe in half and use a 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. It was really good, and I didn't think it was bland. It had just enough taste. I love cheese and enjoy the taste of cheese. I used colby cheese and I did not use salt and pepper during preparation, just added a small amount when I ate it. I will definitely make this recipe again and again!

I cut this recipe in half, since I was just cooking for the two of us... I also shredded the cheese (misread the recipe) I think I have finally found my dh'd Great Aunt Berts famous mac n cheese. Christmas just hasnt been the same since she passed away a few years ago. Thanks so much for sharing! Sooooo delicious!
