Help with a fail-proof recipe please.

I am crap at making macaroni cheese.Made it last night and well, I liked what turned out but it wasn't like a real mac n cheese like I've eaten when others make it.Does anyone have a real fail-proof recipe I could try please!I'm wondering if I didn't have enough sauce in it.Thanks.

I usually just make a cheese sauce (using tasty cheese and adding dijonaise mustard), but I do brown onions and bacon in the butter before putting the flour in.Then mix with pre-cooked pasta then top with grated cheese and fresh breadcrumbs mixed with butter.it usually turns out really well.

It's ick.
I saute an onion and some chopped bacon. Add a can of tomatoes, season and a few herbs. Boil the macaroni, add the tomato mix then stir in 1/2 cup grayed cheese.

Far better than that gluey stuff.

Try this one.ites really easy

IMHO Macaroni Cheese is the most disgusting Trailer Trash meal ever "invented"

You cannot say that mwood because then you would be in total agreement with me and we never have seen eye to eye so you take that back and I'll say it instead.

I love macaroni cheese,always do the bacon thing, and when affordable I add tomato pieces, but if I add onion I prefer it very finely chopped, I would rather add chives to the sauce*also a touch of oregano*and I am really fussy on how the sauce is made. So many people don't make the roux right and it tastes floury, starchy and just burrrk! You need to cook the flour thru, in the hot melted butter for at least a couple of mins before gradually adding the milk, add stir and heat, continue till all milk is mixed in. Add the good strong tasty cheese at the end, and stir just enough to melt the cheese thru. A secret tip is to always add cayenne pepper to the sauce. Also so many people can not cook pasta and boil the hell out of it so it's "gluey". I always do the cheese and crumb topping under the griller as well. Yummy!
