A really tasty mac & cheese that requires no milk!! Quick and delicious. One of my all-time favorites. Feel free to try different cheeses and vegetables, too! I like to use a combination of Gruyere and Swiss cheeses with 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms instead of the Cheddar. Adding crispy bacon to the original recipe is very good, too.
