Mac and Cheese

This is the best, hands down, 5 out of 5 stars, two thumbs way up, unanimous yummiest most delicious mac and cheese recipe ever! 
2 Cups Macaroni
1/2 cups butter
1/4 cup flour
1-1/2 cups milk
8oz of sour cream
8 oz processed cheese ( I used American, but you could use Velveeta)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
This is my favorite home-made mac and cheese recipe. When it's first out of the oven it's extremely rich, almost to rich. But at it cools; unlike most macs and cheese, it gets better and better! This is a mac and cheese that would be great made a day before and warmed up!
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook the macaroni till done, meanwhile; melt the butter in a skillet, add the flour and milk, stir until it thickness; reduce heat and add sour cream, processed cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground mustard. Let simmer, stirring constantly to prevent burning, stir until it's melted.
Strain the macaroni, and stir in the cheddar cheese. Now, pour the sauce over it, and stir, pour into a greased baking dish. (TIP: After straining the macaroni I pour it into our baking dish and did all the adding and stirring from there; it'll save you dishes).
Now, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until it's bubbly and browned to your liking.

Try This: Try sprinkling the top with bread crumbs. To cheesy? Try adding 1/4 cup more macaroni. To rich? Try reducing the sour cream and processed cheese both to 6 oz instead of 8oz. Like it spicy? Try adding a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce. Want some green? Try adding 1/2 cup frozen peas.
