My favorite home made mac & cheese is Kraft - I make it at home, so it's home made!! LOL

I use a combo of velveeta and cheddar, Just cook the macaroni like usual throw it in the cheese sauce, put in a baking dish and top with bread crumbs
throw it in the oven until it bubbles

lol Kraft was and is my homemade method too but he wants it like his mom used to make it and I want it like my grandma made so I thought I would try to make it to see

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
