This is the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. Omit the crushed crackers if you don't want the crunch. This is from Southern Living 1993, with a few changes.

Bring water and salt to a boil in a large Dutch oven.
2
Stir in macaroni and return to a rapid boil.

I made this for the 08 PAC and my family all loved it! I don't usually like crumb toppings on mac & cheese, but I've never had one with cheese cracker topping, so I did half with and half without. I did end up enjoying the side with the topping. The dish was very creamy!! I doubled the noodles because it didn't seem like it would be enough. There still seemed to be enough of the sauce even with that amount of pasta. It is hardly low fat, but it will be a neat treat now and then! Thanks for sharing it!
