Very good recipe for creamy mac n' cheese! I made this Christmas Eve 2011 as one of my side dishes and everyone loved it. I forgot to review it then but I made notes on the recipe and I wrote: "very good!!" Also I used penne pasta instead of elbow as the penne filled up with all that creaminess! Thanks for sharing.
