Aunt Tammy's Homemade Mac & Cheese

I thought I would share our favorite macaroni and cheese recipe. This is my Aunt Tammy's recipe that she is always expected to bring to any family gathering.

I make this nearly once a week - especially for Cayson. It's great because I can serve him the leftovers for several meals. I sometimes add ham or veggies to it for a little variation. You can add chopped carrots while you're boiling the pasta and get the added nutrition. My favorite addition is chopped bell peppers. I add them during the final stage of melting the cheese, etc.
