Iggy's on sabattical. Besides, he'd just find a way to justify the racist qualities of various M&C recipes.

Their ignorance = my bliss.

If you like Paula Dean's watered down M & C you'll love real M&C.
Kraft Mac n Cheese and cut up cheap hot dogs. Corn King is a good hotdog to use.
Mac and Velveeta. What's not to like ?
I like my mac 'n' cheese baked. Wish i could find the recipe.
Velveeta shells n' cheese, prepare the shells a little 'stiff' (they'll finish in the next step), add diced ham and the other stuff, stick it in a baking dish with some foil over it, bake at 350 till it bubbles, yank the foil and leave it till a little brown on top, mmmm... A dash of hot sauce is a good thing too, but do this when served, not during baking.
I don't know why they call it hamburger helper, tastes fine all by itself.

Every time I've had it, it's been tight as berkeley. Sounds like whoever made it for you may not have known what the berkeley they were doing. Or you've never had it. Either way, it sounds like I'm arguing just to argue, so I'll stop here. I like the "tight" (baked at the end) mac & cheese, preferably with good cheese (not Kroger cheddar or some slime in a bag,) not the slimy E36 M3 you're talking about.
PS: I think she has a dozen different m&c recipes. I think this is the one sis uses:

I had to fix some tonight. Made it with velveeta, sour cream, and mozzerella (sp?). For the second bowl, I put in some Franks Red Hot. Ohhhh yessss.
Dinner was fresh brats on grill and some M&C ala Carguy.
Shells, sharp cheddar and just a little brie along with evap milk.
Yum, yum.

That's more corn than dog there. Lived off those things for a while after I moved to VT and shared a 4 BR apt with 3 other guys. We were pretty cheap!

I've had it and had Paula fix it for me too. By watered down I meant flavor wise and not loose and runny. She originally developed that recipe to feed large groups of people and to do it less expensively.
I hope this shows up since I stole it from Facebook, that's the M&C I made earlier today.

Lies, because if Paula was cooking for you, you'd be on your third stroke and fifth bypass. 
You notice her size don't you?
Yours looks slimey. Like I said: She's got a bunch of different recipes. I posted the one I'm familiar with. I like tight, not slimey. Same goes for potato salad. Ymmv.
Egad! I dunno if you guys ever read the nutrition panels, but I'm raising two fine young men (ages 6 and 8) and I do! That Velveeta shells and cheddar stuff is flat loaded with salt, and has more than a little saturated fat. We go through a variety of the boxed stuff--some Kraft, some Annies, some others--and when I'm feeling fancy I'll whip up a batch of oven-baked, starting with (you guessed it) a bechamel.
just imagine this..
I like Ketsup on my Mac n Cheese
In reply to mad_machine:
Dude. That's nothin'. My older brother fries his eggs over easy, nice and runny, drops them on top of grits. Then he busts up pieces of bacon, dumps it in. THEN he puts ketchup on that and mixes it up real good, it turns a weird orangey color. He then shovels it in.
AAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHH it makes me queasy to think of it.
Your older brother sounds like an ex-military man. I was a Military brat.. there is no military food that ketsup can't cure

Not slimy, the cheese is still melted. It's very tight.
Mmmmm Potato Salad! See what you did! Now I want Potato Salad.
A proper potato salad is capable of producing a gustatory effect not unlike orgasm.

That means I've been doing one of those things wrong.

It's the only way I'll eat it. I mean, it's not "bad" without it, but Ketchup takes it to a whole new level!

Cheese grits with egg yolk on top is wonderful. The bacon doesn't sound like a bad addition. I'm really not sure about the ketchup, though.
