I've been wanting some baked mac and cheese and this recipe was wonderful. I loved the idea of putting the milk (which I used half whipping cream and half milk) and seasonings in a jar and shaking it up. It worked fabulously :) and the flavor from the seasonings were just excellent. This recipe sure was easy to make and one I will keep for future times. Thanks for sharing the recipe Kitten.
