I was called upon to make macaroni and cheese for a family get-together. After a little while of my sister and I playing around with the recipe, this was the end result. Pretty simple, but rich, super cheesy, and absolutely decadent. This is the only recipe we use for macaroni and cheese now :) This recipe uses a lot of milk and cheese, so it is still ooey-gooey even after baking, which is how we love it. Hope you enjoy it!
