Best macaroni and cheese ever! It is very rich and filling. Perfect in the winter, and makes great leftovers for lunch! I don't usually like gorgonzola cheese, but I loooove this dish!!!

A family member made this for Thanksgiving and it was SO yummy. I begged her for the recipe to share here and I see it's already been shared. I can't wait to make this myself!
