Notes

Tips for great Mac and Cheese:

Cheese: For a stronger cheese flavor use a Cheddar Cheese block and shred it. Store bought shredded cheese is what I used just to make it a tad easier, but a block of cheddar cheese does taste great.

Cooking: Do not overcook this recipe. If you overcook your noodles beforehand, they could become mushy. Make sure they are al dente.
