Absolutely amazing recipe! If you make it step by step, it turns out near identical to CPK (if not better). Recently, I've began adding 1 cup of cheddar and then baking it in a dish covered in more cheddar. Adds a little more sophistication and is SO good! Will continue to make this recipe at least once a week.

For a more sophisticated, baked mac and cheese, follow these steps: Let mac and cheese cool until warm and add 1 cup shredded cheddar. Put into a buttered dish and cover top with shredded cheddar Cover top with tinfoil (butter it to prevent sticking) Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees ferenheit Let cool for 10 minutes to set Enjoy! This will result in a delicious, cheesy outcome and the cheddar adds a whole new dimension. Perfect base recipe and I will continue finding new ways to tweak it for more creative outcomes.
