If you have a family of men who need meat in every main course, try this with breakfast sausage crumbled in it! It adds a deliciously subtle sweetness to it, and increases the manly-ness of it

Simple but delicious comfort food! I used wheat macaroni in mine with just an ounce or two of mixed pasta (I was short some macaroni) and it was wonderful. Very easy to make as well. It is important to keep the sauce off the heat when adding the cheese, because if cheese cooks too much in a sauce, it will become grainy. Everyone loved this. Thanks for posting!
