Well, my girlfriend says that Mac & Cheese is her favorite, so I want to give a shot at making it without using that little blue and yellow box.

2 questions if someone can help.

The recipie calls for 5 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar. How much cheese is that? (besides the obvious answer of 5 1/2 cups) How much do I buy? 1 pound?

Also it says to bake in a 3 quart dish. Which is best, a 3 quart round, which seems to me to be deeper, or should I use a flatter, rectangular baking dish?

Your answers are greatly appreciated.
