This was a good mac n cheese. However for the sake of my daughter I didn't add the onion or tomato. Made for My 3 Chefs 09 Event -
Yep, this is my go-to. I am so glad you posted it because the copy in my cookbook has been so used I can hardly read it anymore. No tomato though. -
Having been making this recipe for 30 years. My 4 children grew up eating this mac & cheese. No box stuff for us! Its great & so easy to throw together. -
I have used this recipe for many years. It has become a staple for my family. When the grandchildren come to visit, this is one of the first things they ask for.
