Lots of folks here use Kraft Mac & Cheese (ditch the Kraft noodles). Use their cheese sauce on gluten free noodles.

I adapt the recipe from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook and its always delicious.

Ingredients

8 ounces dried elbow macaroni (2 cups) ---- we use Tinkyada

1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour -----we use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

2-1/2 cups milk

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 ounces) ---- instead of using the shredded cheeses listed, we substitute Velveeta---it melts better!

1-1/2 cups shredded American cheese (6 ounces) --- instead of using the shredded cheeses listed, we substitute Velveeta---it melts better!

Directions

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain; set aside.

2. Meanwhile, for cheese sauce, in a medium saucepan cook onion in hot butter until tender but not brown. Stir in flour and pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add cheeses, stirring until melted. Stir in cooked macaroni. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart casserole.

3. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings.

I use Orgran elbow noodles, cook as directed, and melt Velveta on it. Yum!

I do Mac& cheese two different ways. One, just boil the noodles and mix in shredded cheddar, mozz. and swiss. Two, I do fancy baked Mac & cheese. Here's the recipe.

14-16 oz dry macaroni

6 Tbsp butter, melted

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard flour, nutmeg to taste

6 cups shredded cheese (cheddar w/ 1 cup romano is my fave)

1 quart milk

Melt butter in casserole dish, stir macaroni into melted butter. Season to taste, spread shredded cheese on top, pour milk over all trying to get cheese wet, DO NOT STIR. I like to put a bunch of little cubes of cream cheese on top, too. Bak at 325 for one hour, then flip broil for a few minutes if you like the top to be really chewy.

Ditto for us, but I don't like the american cheese, so I use a mix of cheddars-1/2 extra sharp. This is my 6 year old's favoriete. I usually triple the recipe and freeze in small portions for her lunches! This is my FAVORITE cookbook, almost everything I make (even cakes, quickbreads and cookies) I get from this book and modify. So far, I've had no issues!

If you are looking for something like the traditional blue box, I recommend "Annie's Rice Pasta and Cheddar". I have one child that can have wheat, and one that cannot, so I did a taste test with it and the Kraft blue box. The kid that could eat wheat had three bowls of Annie's to the one bowl of Kraft. I also preferred the taste as well.

If you're lucky enough to have a store that sells Gluino fozen foods (my local health food store sells them), they have a frozen Mac and cheese, and a penne alfredo that are just great.

Some of the recipes you folks posted look great--I'll try them. Thanks so much!
