Mac and Cheese

I’ve been married thirteen years. I’ve been trying for twelve of those years to move my husband from boxed mac and cheese or a mac and cheese with velveeta cheese to a real food mac and cheese. I have tried so many recipes and not until this recipe would he make a switch. (insert happy dance)

Some people like to add a drop of yellow mustard, a sprinkling of nutmeg, or just some pepper.My husband likes for me to top the macaroni and cheese with more cheese and bake in the oven till the cheese is bubbly.
