Creamy Mac and Cheese Recipe

Creamy Mac and Cheese Recipe

My son loves mac and cheese, so I have been trying different variations of this classic recipe. Most of my mac and cheese recipes are baked or finished off in the oven. This provides a nice crisp cheese topping; however, I wanted to test recipes that could emulate the boxed versions. The boxes that you buy at the grocery store are gooey and moist, so our Creamy Mac and Cheese Recipe is just that. We may continue to tweak this recipe, but here is where we are now with it. It gave me the texture and consistency that I was looking for…. gooey and cheesy!
