I just got a Wolfgang Puck rice cooker from HSN and it came with a recipe book. I was surprised by the things that can be made besides rice. This is easier than opening a box of Kraft mac and cheese and sooooooooo much better too.

I bought a rice cooker and wanted to use it for more than just rice. I've made this mac 'n cheese several times and it always comes out delicious! If you like your mac 'n cheese nice and crusty, leave the pot on warm for another 10 to 15 minutes after stirring the cheeses into the cooked macaroni.

Simply bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain the macaroni and set it aside. - To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Add the cheese and stir until melted. - Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Pour the macaroni and cheese into a serving dish and top with additional cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
