ISO Best Mac and Cheese Recipe Ever!!

[RealLifeMama]

Most homemade mac and cheese recipes I have tried leave something to be desired.
I was hoping some of you could share some really good ones with me, that you have tried.
Later I will look at allrecipes but I would really like ones that others have tried.
Thanks!

ETA: I found one in casseroles, but would like other ideas, too.

This is what I do:
Make gluten free pasta....melt about 3/4 a stick of butter in a saucepan, add a few cups of milk, and a bit of gluten free flour, whisk and heat until bubbly, add a bag of cheese, whisk more until bubbly, pour over pasta and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. I get the stronger cheddar or raw milk colby/cheddar to make a really good batch.

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup (8 ounces) Velveeta, cut into small cubes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees thenlightly butter butter a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.

Take a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the oil, then the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.

In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter of butter then stir into the macaroni

In a BIG bowl mis all the cheeses (saving 1/2 cup of the cheddar), and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Add the maccaroni now. MIX. Put it in the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and dot with the remaining one tablespoon of butter.

Bake until it's bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.

We like this one. Dd will even eat it leftover. I leave off the breadcrumbs. You can just use cajun/creole seasoning for the essence, if you want, or you can leave it out as well. It's good either way. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_20063,00.html

LOL, Sheryl!!!
That does sound positively sinful!!! I am making it to take to a pig pickin' :jawdrop (I am sure that no one outside the south in the US knows what a pig pickin' in, and are :hunh, :scratch) so I probably wouldn't get to eat much of it. Maybe just a 25 gram fat serving, :lol
