Simple version of homemade mac and cheese. No roux needed!
Cook pasta according to box directions. I like to use any type of pasta that is not spaghetti. Drain pasta and return back to pot. Add butter and milk. Next add cheeses of your choice. I like to add cheddar and then add some swiss, gouda, or parmesan for a richer flavor. Any cheese that melts fairly well will work. I usually just add cheese until I reach my desired cheesiness level. I would suggest starting with 1/4 cup of each cheese and add more if you have to. Once the cheese is added mix the pasta around. Most of the time the pasta is still hot enough to melt the cheese, it it is not you can turn the burner on low and mix constantly until the cheese melts. A few additions I like to add are hamburger, bacon, or broccoli. I have also made this with ground pork and it turned out fantastic.
