Ok, so it's not mom's homemade mac and cheese, but it's not bad. I like to make this on nights when it's just me and the kiddo and I'm going for something quick and warm. I add chopped up chicken or sausage to it, sometimes broccoli, sometimes, herbs, sometimes a squirt of yellow mustard to give it some tang, and always some real cheese. That way I feel like I'm actually preparing a home cooked meal while having the convenience of serving dressed up boxed macaroni. :)
