I have made this for potluck lunches at the church and for family events since trying it that first time. It usually goes over very well. Rarely do I have anything to take back home with me. In the event that I do, the leftovers are always really yummy! Sometimes, I make a double batch just so that I know I’m going to get to take some home… well hopefully anyways. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Spend With Pennies:
“This dish has so much velvety cheese in a quick homemade sauce and once you try it, this is going to be the only macaroni & cheese you make!”
I know this is my new favorite!
