Have you had the Macaroni & Cheese from Panera Bread yet? If not, I suggest you get it next time you're there. It is so creamy and has a bit of tang to it. It's made with shell pasta, butter, cream and Vermont White Cheddar (with a bit of American cheese). Delicious and indulgent.
I make a lot of mac & cheese, always trying to find the perfect balance between creamy, cheesy, flavorful and something with integrity (i.e. not velveeta, though that's still delicious!). So far this is definitely my favorite recipe. I actually prefer stove-top mac & cheese but if you like baked you could definitely adapt this recipe to suit your tastes.

2 oz. American Cheese, grated
S&P to taste
Pinch of Cayanne Pepper if desired

- melt butter in medium sauce pan, whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the flour taste
