Best Ever Macaroni Cheese

This is a family recipe, and an all time favorite of mine. some people like to substitute cheddar cheese, but i don't like it myself. for me it's american cheese or no mac & cheese. the amount of cheese is an estimate, i just grate enough until i think it is cheesy enough. blocks of american cheese is hard to find for me, so i've used sliced american cheese and have not had a problem. i hope you enjoy!!
