Can the world stand one more mac and cheese recipe? I think so, yes. Especially this one that is made with THREE cheeses, and the finest butter and cheese money can buy. Yes, it may be a costly dish but aren't you and your family worth it? At least now and then? Splurge a little! Recipe & photo: Kroger.inspiredgathering.com 02-11-15

    NOTE: Kerrygold dairy products can generally be found at WalMart stores, and I believe I have seen them at Kroger also.
