MIGHTY Mac.. and cheese

MAC AND CHEESE PLEASE!!!!!!!
I sure don't know if your mouth is watering but mine sure is. It a comfort food that nobody could ever, ever, ever turn down. It's good when your young, old, in school, out of school, long day, lazy day, sick, or never felt better. It's my favorite food and it should be yours too.

There's a millions different ways to make Mac and Cheese. With many different types of pastas and cheese to mix for any combination you want and not to mention the meats, veggies, and spices to give it that extra kick. Now you can go the easy route and just make some Kraft (stove top) or put some Stouffer's in the oven, not to say that you can't add your own culinary flare. However, if you want the cheesiest, mouth watering, explosion of flavor, and downright best Mac and Cheese of your life you have to go homemade.

Here's my top 5 Mac and Cheese Combinations
1) Old-Fashion Mac - Cheddar shredded cheese, no meat, elbow macaroni
2) HOT MAC!! Spicy - Mexican shredded cheese, Cajan chicken, fresh diced jalapenos, elbows
3) Steak Mac - Swiss shredded cheese, cut-up dry rubbed steak, mushrooms, elbows
4) Crabby Mac - Sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese, crab meat, bread crumbs, shell pasta
5) Beer Bacon Mac - Cheddar cheese, one bottle choice beer, cut bacon, and elbows

Now here's the scoop on how to make my personal favorite Old-Fashion Mac from scratch with my own recipe. You'll need...

• 9 by 9 pan 
• 1/2 box elbow macaroni
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 to 3 cups of shredded cheddar
• 1 tsp onion flakes
• 4 shakes of black pepper 
• A couple dabs Worcestershire sauce 
• A generous squeeze of yellow mustard
• A sprinkle of garlic powder

You start by cooking the pasta on stove top. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until soft. Then preheat oven to 400 degrees. For the cheese sauce add milk, mustard,Worcestershire, and all spices into a pan. Heat the milk mixture until warm but not boiling. After it's heated start adding hand fulls of cheese at time and continuously stirring until sauce thickens. After the elbows and sauce is done add the macaroni to the 9 by 9 pan and cover with the cheese sauce. Give it a quick stir and then place the Mac and Cheese in the oven for 20 minutes or until the top starts to brown. Remove the Mac and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

BONUS --- Try adding favorite hot sauce like Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot, or my personal favorite Chili garlic Cholula 

Total time: around 30 to 40 minutes
