CREAMY BAKED MAC AND CHEESE

If you love thanksgiving or any occasion, Macaroni and cheese come in handy in delivering you a plate filled with delicious and yummy cheese. Since I was little, I remember my mother making this almost every other week. It was our favorite dish growing up and still is as an adult. I have three little brats running around and macaroni and cheese keep them seated and watching T.V. I found this recipe through a friend of mine and it takes me and my kids favorite dish to the next level! You’ll love how creamy and flavourful the baked macaroni and cheese become. It has milk, butter (or margarine) and two of my preferred cheeses (Velveeta and Kraft Cheddar Cheese). Try to cook this dish the next time you have dinner with your family and see the amazement they will have on their faces! Note: Ensure you watch over the macaroni to avoid it burning or overcooking.
