Recipe: Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is a childhood favorite of just about everyone in the US. This easy homestyle recipe really helps you remember those warm servings of macaroni and cheese that mom used to make, without having to hunt down a ton of ingredients. It’s relatively simple to make, and tastes fantastic. What more could you ask for??

Again, this is not the healthiest recipe. We just happen to have a ton of cheese on hand at the moment (hence all of the cheese-based recipes), and we are trying to kill as much of it as we can before we move. This is a vegetarian dish, and could probably be made vegan with a little effort. Gluten sensitive folks could look at using specialty pasta.
