Mac and Cheese - pretty darn good


My mom would make the most delicious mac and cheese. My kids used to love going to her house on holidays if only to have the mac and cheese. Especially Brett, because he used to be a picky eater and the mac and cheese was something that he would eat. I used to watch her make it and it wasn't very complicated, macaroni, butter, milk, chunks of cheese - bake for at least one hour at 350.

Well, I like to try different variations of the recipe. So today I used grated Jarlsberg and colby cheeses and a little yogurt cheese, along with the milk and butter. Baked about an hour and then I put finely grated bread crumbs mixed with a little melted butter and some parmesan cheese on top and baked a little longer.
I should have taken the picture before Dave and I dug into it, but I didn't think of the blog until later in the evening. It turned out pretty tasty, though.

  1. I love that mac and cheese as well. I haven't perfected mine yet...make it a bit different each time. So far my favorite has been with mozzarella and feta in it. Pretty good;)
