I literally made an account on here so I can leave this review. I recently got my first apartment and have been looking for easy but tasty recipes that I can make. This Mac N Cheese was UHMAZZINNGG. I think I should have salted my pasta a little more, but the recipe itself is perfect. I can't wait to have some friends over and impress them with this. LOVED IT!

I was a little concerned about the ratios in this recipe, after deciding to make it, as it didn't seem that there was enough flour to thicken the sauce, and that it would just be milk with melted cheese in it. I wasn't brave enough to follow through completely, so thickened it slightly with some cornflour and water.<br/>A well flavoured mac cheese recipe...the sharp cheddar really makes it.<br/>Made for SPRING PAC 2012.

My name is Jennifer and I live in Orlando with my husband. When I'm not working, I'm in my kitchen cooking healthy, cheap meals for myself and my husband. I discovered not too long ago that a lot of chemicals and additives are put in many grocery items that are commonly used for convenience. Since then, I have tried to come up with inexpensive, quick recipes for things from pasta sauces to salad dressings. I'm definitely not a pro at cooking, but I am learning more everyday!
