Try this one :)

Boston Chicken Macaroni & Cheese
3 Cups Dry spiral−shaped pasta, Cook al dente, drain
2/3 Cup Milk (2% or regular)
1 Pound Velveeta cheese, light or
Cubed small
1/4 Teaspoon Dry mustard powder
1/2 Teaspoon Ground turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
Place into top of double boiler over gently simmering water milk, cheese,
mustard powder, turmeric, salt and pepper in that order. Stir with whisk
occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir pasta into hot cheese mixture and
keep hot until serving time over hot water, up to an hour. (If it begins to
thicken up too much, dilute with a little milk). Never put into oven or over
direct heat as it will scorch and change the texture to a sticky mess.

I've made momontimeout's mac and cheese and it was pretty decent. Probably the best homemade one I've made, although I also added blue cheese too.

Agreed but only in the USA.
I think the opposite of the OP, American Mac and Cheese is completely tasteless and yuk, mind you they don’t have any cheese that tastes of anything!
I make mine with strong cheddar, Parmesan and Philadelphia and occasionally put chopped bacon in - really tasty.
