This is one of the best mac & cheese recipes I have ever had and it is easily the fastest way I have found to cook it that does not involve buying the processed stuff that comes from a box.
It tastes like it took a lot longer to cook and no one will suspect it took less than 30 minutes to put together and serve.
Great as a side dish or main dish. And you can swap out these cheese with whichever are your favorites to make it your own!
You can make it more substantial by adding cooked chicken, bacon, veggies, etc.
