Mac & Cheese With Veggies

Love Mac & cheese and found this one on line from Just a Pinch Recipe site and it's over the top delicious, colorful with all the veggies and creamy smooth. I did add 1/2 a red sweet pepper for added color and thinking pimentos might be good too. It will make it's own sauce while baking
