Or should I say Cheese-n-Mac! This is the best, most cheesiest macaroni I have ever had. It is a recipe from scratch that is actually pretty easy to do and worth all the effort. This is a huge dish and Aaron almost single handedly ate the entire dish himself!! (I couldn't let that happen of course :)
We grilled veggies and chicken and steak kabobs to go with it. It was definitely a comfort food kind of dinner for us and everyone was happy, I had no complaints for dinner for one night of the week, at least.
