Homestyle Mac and Cheese

by

This Homestyle Mac and Cheese is delicious and total comfort food. It doesn’t get much cozier than this. My kids love the mac and cheese at Golden Corral and think this tastes even better. That is a top compliment right there! 

If you’re looking for a low cal macaroni and cheese recipe, this isn’t it. It’s got cheeeese. So just be prepared for that. It’s total comfort food and absolutely delicious. My kids eat it up when I make it and can you blame them? Cheese and pasta always equals amazing.

  3. I just tried your recipe for dinner tonight and it was great!! My 5-year-old and baby BOTH loved it, which doesn&#39;t happen often. Much better than my old recipe. Thanks!<br />Katie @ Katie&#39;s Farm

  6. I just made this tonight- and it turned out SUPER gritty! I stirred the milk/flour the entire time so I am not sure why it happened! 🙁 We didn’t even finish it because it was not good!
