Kid Friendly Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

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.
