This recipe has always been a part of our family since I was a little kid. My Grandma used to cook this all the time. Needless to say, we grew up eating this pretty much every day! I know we all have different recipes for macaroni and cheese, but I am proud to say that this recipe of my Grandma is the best! Give it a try and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. My only advice to you is to be very generous with the amount of cheese that you are going to add. More cheese means more fun! Also, you can add more ingredients to it if you wish. You can always add ground meat to it if you a meatier meal!
