breadcrumb topped baked mac and cheese
(1 rating)
This is a tweaked version of a recipe that my FB friend Coleen posted. We are biiiig Mac and Cheese lovers at my house and this recipe in its original form (sans breadcrumbs) was some of the best Mac and Cheese we have had. Since our 2nd favorite recipe was topped with breadcrumbs, it didnt take much to do a little tweaking and add some here as well. :)
