I got this creamy baked macaroni and cheese from my granddaughter and it is soooooo good!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Move over boxed stuff. This is an old-fashioned macaroni and cheese recipe that anyone can make. Velveeta cheese makes the mac and cheese super creamy. Adding shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese adds another layer of flavor, and makes this very cheesy. We loved the crisp edges of the cheese once baked. Comfort food all the way!
