Is there a way to make real creamy macaroni and cheese without using American cheese?

You could use any cheese. Also, the milk is what makes it creamy.

I use heavy cream and (jarred) vodka sauce… add a bit of salt. Comes out creamy and yum.

I've added milk, but the cheese comes out clumpy and doesn't actually "coat the pasta"
I use shredded mozzarella, and sometimes a mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar.

Without any cheese?
It does sound yum though...

Mozzarella gets stringy when melted and isn’t the best for Mac and cheese. Cheddar will work great. Here’s an easy one pot recipe for a stove top Mac that comes out super creamy:

Make a roux with equal parts butter and flour (maybe a spoonful of each). Stir and heat until it's browned. Whisk in milk until blended. Then add in shredded cheese and stir until melted.

I use Haolam mozzarella slims, milk, and a little butter.

Thus is how I make it. Comes out delicious creamy, but it’s best super fresh. Once it cools it congeals a bit.

Add the cheese only once the milk is hot and only add a little at a time. Also worst case if the sauce does get clumpy, just take out your immersion blender and blend until smooth
