We eat a LOT of Mac and cheese, no seriously, a lot. I usually double the recipe because there are always a lot of kids at my house and everyone loves a bowl of mac and cheese and they always go back for a second helping.
This recipe comes from The Two Bite Club. I am always trying out different recipes and using the kids as my tasters to vote for which recipe they like best, this one was inhaled and it looked like the dishes were licked clean. I think that is a great indicator.

THIS is the mac and cheese we grew up with. Wonderful, total comfort food, none of that saucey stuff. (good but not the real thing) If you’re in a hurry, warm the milk before pouring it on; that will speed it up a little. For a tiny bit of zip add a little dried mustard to the milk. Use one cheese or mix whatever you have on hand, use elbow, rigatoni… It’s epic!
I will try it Liz! Thank you for the tip!
Don’t like tomatoes in my mac and cheese.
It’s a personal preference, some people do, some people don’t. I was raised eating macaroni and tomato juice.
