  1. grate your cheese while cooking your pasta...cook aduntée.  

    in a sauce pan heat on medium low heat  1 cup milk, 1/2 stic butter, and the about 2 cups  grated cheese.  add a dash of salt, pepper, and worchestire sauce and  a pinch of chili powder.

    drain the pasta, pour mixture over macaroni. pour into 8x8 pan and bake for about 30 minutes... the pasta will continue to cook and make the cheese sauce really nice  


  2. Make a rue, and then melt the cheese into it. add milk if needed, but it probably won't be.

    Good luck!

  3. BEST MACARONI AND CHEESE  

    2 c. (8 ounces) elbow macaroni

    1 stick butter

    1/4 cup minced onions

    3 tbsp. flour

    2 c. of milk or light cream

    1/2 c. dry white wine (or water)

    2 c. grated sharp cheddar (1/2 pound)

    1/2 cup bread crumbs (topping)

    Salt and freshly ground pepper

    Cayenne to taste 1/2 tsp. paprika

    Bring 4 qt. salted water to a rapid boil and cook the macaroni until not quite tender. Drain macaroni and set aside.

    In saute pan, melt 1/2 the stick of butter (or 4 tablespoons). When melted, stir in the breadcrumbs and toast just until lightly browned. Remove breadcrumbs from pan and set aside. Wipe pan clean with paper towel and re-use for next step. Breadcrumb topping: Melt remaining butter, add onions, and stir over low heat until onions are just translucent, but not browned. Stir in the flour and seasonings. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, then gradually stir in the milk or cream.

    Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Add cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts.

    Combine the macaroni with the cheese sauce. Turn out into a generously buttered casserole dish (approximately 1 1/2 quarts). If you have any extra grated cheese, you can sprinkle this on top along with the 1/2 cup of buttered, toasted bread crumbs.

    Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 20 minutes or until heated all the way through and golden brown on top.




  4. I made up this recipe after not finding what I wanted to make online:

    INGREDIENTS

    16 oz uncooked macaroni, prepared according to package directions

    2 tablespoons butter

    2 tablespoons flour

    2 cups warm milk (whole milk ideal, but 2% will work)

    1 cup shredded cheddar

    1/2 cup shredded monterey jack

    DIRECTIONS

    1. In a medium sauce pan melt butter over medium-low heat and add flour. Make sure heat is low enough that the flour doesn't clump and cook for one minute.

    2. Add warm milk, increase heat to medium, and stir until the sauce thickens.

    3. When sauce has thickened, remove from heat and stir in cheeses until fully incorporated.

    4. Mix with cheese sauce with noodles and serve.

    Just replace the cheeses in the recipe with Muenster you have on hand.  I would try to cut it into thin strips so it melts easier. I would also add a sharp cheddar or something else with a lot of flavor since Muenster is pretty mild.
