You've got to try McCoys at Old Pineville and Woodlawn....their mac and cheese is perhaps the best I have ever had. It taste like the real thing, and not something out of a box...that has been doctored up. While you are there, have a helping of their green beans (and fried squash)....they always taste like they have just been picked and prepared. If you go there on Tuesday, they have the Potroast Special...its something you won't soon forget.
Good Luck.....you won't be disappointed!!
4th vote for Mac's BBQ. There's one on South Tryon as well that is new and one on South Blvd. as well. Good BBQ, good collard greens, great hush puppies.
I SIL makes an amazing Mac-n-Cheese with cracker crumbs and ziti.
Honestly it is the only kind I will eat.
If that sounds interesting, I'll get her recipe.
Works for me! Sounds good. I am always looking for new recipes!!!

Mcoy's Mac is good!
Also Down to the Bone-North Tryon Street.(pick up a slice of pineapple upside down cake!)
and Lupies on Monroe Road.
ok, ok, here's my recipe, sorry it's not totally exact:
1 small onion, or 1/2 large onion, chopped
2-3 Tablespoons butter
1.5 Tablespoons AP flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2 cups of milk
2 cups of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 box of macaroni (? I never get my pasta amt. right, so this is a guess.)
Set oven to 375
Melt 2T butter in sauce pan on medium and saute onions until very soft, about 5 mins. Stir in salt and pepper next, then sprinkle flour over the mixture. Incorporate the flour and let cook another minute or two until smooth and bubbly. Remove the pan from the heat and add the milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly, and boil for 1 min. Remove from heat again and stir in 1 and 3/4 cups of the cheese until it's melted. Mix w/ al dente macaroni noodles and pour into a buttered 8x8 baking dish.
For the topping: Melt 1T butter in a saute pan and add the Panko crumbs. Saute until golden brown and crispy. Combine w/ remaining 1/4 cup cheese and top the macaroni. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 20-30 mins.
