I know that some people really don’t like macaroni and cheese (especially the kind the comes in the blue box), but I have to be honest . . . it really is one of my favorite foods of all time. I love gourmet homemade versions and I love the easy versions that can be made in your microwave in 3 1/2 minutes that only require you to add water.
I know that some of your are probably totally disgusted right now. Sorry. 🙂
Anyway, the kids wanted chicken nuggets for dinner and I decided that I would attempt to make a simple mac and cheese. I started looking all over the internet and was scared of some of the reviews that I read- lots of people had problems with the cheese curdling. Knowing my luck, I knew that would happen to me!
I probably read over 20 different recipes and settled on this one that I found at Repeat Crafter Me because she seemed to know what she was talking about and her picture looked yummy. 🙂 I followed her directions and 2 hours later, this dish was done. And about 30 seconds after that, it was completely devoured by my family (adults and kids alike!). It was quick, easy, and incredibly delicious. I don’t know if I will ever make any other version of mac & cheese again!
