Baked Mac and Cheese

On a cold November day, there is nothing more satisfying than some comfort food like mac and cheese. The school makes an amazing macaroni and cheese, but seems to be serving it less frequently than in the past. If you’re dying to have some mac and cheese right away, try this recipe. It’s not as good as the caf mac and cheese, it’s better. Happy Baking!

    Our family loves mac and cheese! It’s comforting, filling, and really easy to make for a large amount of people. I’ve actually tried mixing in a bit of fresh veggies…just a bit….as I try to get the kids to eat something green for dinner too 🙂
