Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

Recipe #282408 | 55 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: sunburst308

This is THE BEST macaroni and cheese I have ever had. Although it's a little more work than your traditional Easy mac, it is definitely worth the effort! I found this recipe in my Simple & Delicious magazine and it was submitted by Cindy Hartley. Enjoy!

    I made this last night to give it a try and it was very good. It was a bit more work than my usual mac & cheese recipe. Everyone ate this great but my regular is a bit easier and a bit creamier but I thank you this was the first baked mac & cheese I've tried.

    It's the winner! My daughter is very picky about mac & cheese -basically only likes the Kraft stuff - tried many homemade recipes over the years with ho-hum responses, but I got her with this one! She loved it, we loved it...hooray! Thanks to you I don't have to tolerate the blue box stuff when we want mac & chese here. (not wild about it myself) Thanks!
