I have always made layered Mac N Cheese. It's the way my mom taught me. Recently I remembered that she always insisted on longhorn cheddar. She bought a huge (to my little eyes) chunk of it and would slice it thin. I'd help place the layers. She always made a huge bowl, sort of see-through. She'd pour whole milk in until she could see it coming halfway up the bowl. Top with bread or cracker crumbs and butter. I have started doing mine the same way...skipping the grated I'd used for years and slicing that longhorn cheddar. Makes a HUGE difference good before, great now. Try it.

I recently started layering ingredients instead of mixing them all up in a casserole and I find that I like the way it turns out better. And also many times you don't need to boil the pasta first if there's enough sauce in the casserole. I find the large rigatoni works real well. It cooks up well without boiling first and it holds its shape well.

It's great with or without tuna. When I make it with tuna, I also add frozen peas - makes a really good supper casserole.
