We have been trying to get away from Kraft macaroni and cheese, so for the last year I've been trying different recipes to try and find a homemade one that our children would like.  Buddy is pretty easy to please and likes almost all of the recipes I have tried.  Princess on the other hand loves her Kraft macaroni and cheese.  We have had a very hard time finding a recipe that she would eat.  
Tonight was a complete success.  She tried a bite and said "Mommy, this is my favorite one you've made."  With a big smile on her face.  It gave me a huge sense of accomplishment after a year of failure.  And to make it even better it is a very easy recipe that takes about the same time to make as the Kraft macaroni and cheese.
The recipe:
1. Make the macaroni as you would usually.
2. While the macaroni is cooking melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan.
3. Mix in one can of Campbells Condensed Cheddar Cheese soup.
4. Add 6 slices of American Cheese.  (Next time I might try a few more)  I used Land of Lakes American Cheese made with 2% milk and added 3 slices at a time and once those were melted added the next.  
5. Mix cheese sauce with drained macaroni and serve.
