Goat Macaroni and Cheese

Jennifer Cross's Note:

My allergy to cow's milk leads me to experiment in interesting ways. This recipe is all goat based, although all items can be substituted with oil or veggie based cheese replacements. I prefer white pepper in my "cream" based recipes, but green pepper is also excellent in this recipe.

Enjoyed this recipe! I also am allergic to cow's milk so in our house we make everything with goat's milk & cheese. I've made several variations of mac & cheese using goat milk/cheese but had never had it with the soft goat cheese added in. Delicious!!

Great recipe! Very tasty. I tried it without the dill and loved it. It sets up nicely, too. This recipe will make a great base to start from as I make modifications or additions (like bread crumbs on top).
