I am not a fan of boxed macaroni and cheese but my kids would argue otherwise. My sister cooked this one night when I was at her house and I tried it and loved it. It is a great alternative to the boxed macaroni and cheese but tastes way better. Now I can make this and everyone is happy! I love making this on nights we are busy and don't have time to prepare a fresh meal. This has now become a staple in our household and I like to keep this on hand at all times.
