When I first started learning to cook, I used the boxed mac 'n cheese and was happy with that. Later on, though, I decided that homemade had to be better. This is my basic version but on occasion, I try different types of cheeses.

How to Make 3-Cheese Mac 'n Cheese

Step-by-Step

In a large sauce pan, heat milk until hot but not boiling. Add cheeses, sour cream, butter and salt; heat on low until smooth, stirring constantly.
Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheese mixture. Gently stir to combine well.
Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and top with additional cheese if desired. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
