You’ll Never Guess What The Secret Ingredient Is In This Cheesy Casserole!

This mac and cheese is really a tried and true recipe.  Not only was it shared by a chef who trusts this to always work out, but I tried it as well, and I can tell you: it is EASY and oh so delicious! The creaminess is the perfect texture and you will have such a hard time resisting picking more out of the dish when you are done with your portion (or really, just picking out bite after bite with a wooden spoon as you wait for it to be fully ready!).

Check out what our friends over at Spend With Pennies had to say about this:
