Easy Homemade Mac 'n Cheese

Here in the South Macaroni and Cheese is considered a vegetable. Well not really vegetable but I've seen it listed with the vegetables in menus my whole life. It’s just one of those quirky things we do down here that confuses the rest of the country.

                                                                             

This recipe for Macaroni and Cheese is so good you’ll never buy that stuff in the box again. It's an easy recipe to make and only takes a few minutes to prepare. 

Another great thing about this version of Macaroni and Cheese is you probably have most if not all of the ingredients already. The elbow pasta can easily be exchanged for penne and the cheddar could be swapped for Colby Monterrey Jack. This gives you a budget friendly way to make this dish anytime.
