Mac and Cheese

One of my favorite comfort foods is mac and cheese.  I have a few different recipes for this.  One I will share with you at some point, is a recipe from way back from my high school days.  This one, however, is my FAVORITE!  This one is so creamy, cheesy, and gooey!  I love that it’s also very easy to make.  With this one, you won’t need a roux!

I love using Land O’Lakes extra melt American Cheese.  You don’t have to use that one, I know that it is hard to find.  If you are using a different brand, add 1 Tbsp of butter.  Land O’Lakes has a nice buttery flavor so it’s not needed.

No matter what type of pasta you choose for this, ALWAYS cook to the al dente time.  The pasta will continue to cook and nobody like mushy pasta!  You can also add bacon to this one for a little more oomph and smoky flavor.  If you are a lobster lover, this would be the perfect recipe for a Lobster Mac.  I’m allergic, so that one is a little hard for me.  If you opt for this add in, I would love to know how it turns out.  #cheesy #macncheese #comfortfood

Enjoy!  Let me know if you have the chance to try this one.
