I used to buy the boxed macaroni and cheese when the kids were younger. Then I decided a homemade version would be better all around. So I tried to make a home-style macaroni and cheese version with Gruyere and some other cheeses –and they all hated it.
“It tastes weird,” they whined. Truth be told, my kids love macaroni and cheese, but would rather get it from Panera. So, I had given up on it, until last fall when my daughter hosted a joint birthday party with a friend. Her mom (my neighbor) brought a big tray of macaroni and cheese, and the kids demolished it.
When I asked her for the recipe, this is what she told me:

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes (it will turn golden).
Add the milk, whisking as you go. Continue whisking as the milk heats; it will gradually thicken into a sauce.

Add the cheese. Stir until melted completely. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a baking dish and heat at 350 F in the oven or until the top browns slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
