"From Chef Juan Carlos Cruz-"Calorie Commando" on Food Network- comes this delicious comfort food without the guilt. We had this tonight with grilled pork chops, seasoned green beans and spiced apples. I followed the recipe to the letter and husband, son and I thought it was delicious. Note: it is not at all soupy, so if you like your mac runny, add more milk! Also, we felt it needed salt and fresh ground pepper at the table."

Super easy recipe and lower in fat than the last one I made. Gave it my favorite flavoring by adding fresh steamed lobster. Trying crab next and maybe outside of the lower cal end crawfish and a little chiorizo.

Made this for the first time last night as a side item and it was fantastic! My husband said it was one of the best meals he has had in a long time!
