What do you want for dinner? This is what I ask everyone in my family on their birthday. My 3 year old wanted macaroni and cheese. So I set out to make it for her. Now I have made homemade mac-n-cheese before and I  like it. I think you can make it grown up by using different cheeses. Of course I did not do this for my Emily. I know she will eat all types of cheese but we kept it simple

1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
1 tbsp. btr
1/4 c. milk warmed on stove
6 oz. sharp cheddar shredded
2 oz. mozzarella
2 slices bacon sliced into small pieces and fried

Melt cheese into milk and add to cooked pasta. pour into baking dish. Mix bacon into the mixture.

** If the mixture seems dry you can make an additional batch of the cheese sauce and pour over the top. I made a small batch but if you need a larger portion you can use an entire 1 lb. of noodles and 16 oz. of cheese.

Also, sometimes the cheese mixture seems a little runny. If this is the case add a small amount of flour to the milk before adding the cheese, this will help the sauce thicken up as it cooks and will result in a tighter mac-n-cheese
