Super Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
"Very creamy, cream cheese adds yummy bite.
Very rich, lots of variations, use onion & chive cream cheese, add diced tomatoes or ham, or both. I started making this when my son discovered mac & cheese. Kraft may be the "cheesiest" it is also the saltiest, so I keep these items on hand for lunches or comfort food dinners."

Thick and creamy and oh so cheesy, which is what we love about Mac N Cheese! Delicious each and every bite! -
I love cheese and this was way too cheesy. Sorry Jesse. -
I LOVED this mac and cheese recipe! It was really creamy, unlike other homemade mac and cheese recipes. I followed the directions exactly and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Jesse for posting! -
Wow wow wow! This is absolutely fabulous! I love mac & cheese and this recipe just became a new favorite. I skipped the baking step and just mixed the sauce with the pasta on the stovetop until heated through. I used light cream cheese and 4 oz light, 4 oz regular American (slices, torn in pieces; could probably use all light). Also used multigrain spiral pasta as I had it on hand. Thank you sooo much for posting this jesse! :)

I am a very busy girl with a two year old boy and a crazy full time job!
With all that I do not have alot of time to cook, but I love cooking and serving my family homemade food. I love reading cookbooks so this site is a major hit with me. I love getting feedback on my recipes and giving feedback to others. I love being able to post a request and getting all of the help from people everywhere.
In the summer I love canning and making my own jellies and jams. I usually end up giving it away as gifts, that always seemed like a more personal gift. What could be better than something homemade?
