So yummy and comforting and cheesy! Simple and quick makes my family happy everytime! We love this recipe! (I sub a little onion powder instead of fresh onion and it's great)
This is my classic, comfort food M&C recipe. When the grandkids visit, it's what they ask me to make for lunch AND dinner. Then, when they go home and Mom tries bringing out a BOX of Mac & Cheese from the cupboard, they always say, "No, make it like Grandma does!" And, I have to admit, it's truly better with Sargento Cheddar Cheese! In fact, I think I'll make some today for myself, and, of course, it's definitely on the menu for Easter when the grandkids will be here!
