Microwave Macaroni and Cheese

"This is a very easy and quick way to make macaroni and cheese. Our family has use it for years, taken to many a pot luck and never had any to bring home. It turns out prefect every time. The original recipe call for half the cheese in the sauce and the remainder being mixed with cracker crumbs and put on top. We add all the cheese to the sauce. When going to a Pot luck we warm it in a crock pot."
