I would love to find a real cheese baked macaroni and cheese recipe to call my own and know it is going to turn out perfectly the same every time. However, whenever I use real grated cheese, it always breaks in the oven and gets grainy, even when mixed with sour cream, cream, flour, roux, etc in the recipe. It seems like the only way to avoid that is to use the processed cheese, which I'd rather not. I'm a big fan of creme fraiche because it doesn't break like sour cream, but it's a bit pricey. I only substitute a portion of the cream/milk/sour cream with creme fraiche to make it creamier, but still real grated cheese breaks and gets grainy in a cheese sauce. (It's great on the top!)
