    Make a roux, using flour and butter, then add milk (I use 2% usually) and cook it until it thickens up nicely. Then add shredded cheese of your choice (I like gruyere and sharp cheddar), a little at a time, stirring while adding, and stir until the cheese is all melted and the sauce is thick and cheesy. Add salt, pepper, a little tobasco sauce or cayenne powder, and a little dried mustard powder. Taste it. When you're happy with the flavor, add in your cooked macaroni.

    You can either eat it right then, or pour it into a greased baking dish, top it with bread crumbs and more shredded cheese and pop it in the oven to get a nice crispy crust on top. Either way, it's delicious.

    I don't use evaporated milk - I use 2% skim milk (healthier for you). But it will probably be creamier if you use whole milk. I also use Velveeta cheese and/or shredded cheese. My shredded cheese of choice is either the "Tex-Mex" or the "Nacho" mix - gives the Mac'n'Cheese a bit of a bite.

    Evaporated milk? Eeek!


    Use butter, flour, milk and cheese.


    Melt the butter, add the flour, make a roux, add the milk and then the cheese stir until thick. Take off heat

    Make the macaroni drain.

    place in a greased pan dump cheese sauce over macaroni, stir, top with bread crumbs and cubes of butter bake until bubly and golden brown crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside.


    *Use what cheese you like, I love to use a blend of soft cheeses with just a little blue cheese. It makes a great taste!

    Hmmm..Ive never made it w/ evaporated milk. I use american cheese (the block not the slices) and a little bit of milk (whichever % I happen to have) and salt & pepper :-)

    You can use skimmed canned milk or even regular skim milk. You can also use a can of some kind of creamed soup too. Lots of different ways to make it.
