This is so great! I make mine with a lot more cheese.. I am a big cheese fan. I normally use at least 2 cups of cheese and layer in the baking dish with the macaroni mix. I use what ever cheese I have on hand, but love to add some sharp cheddar. I am very glad to come across this. Great for a family week night meal, or for a company dish as well. Pair with milk, or some wine, some fresh bread and salad... TASTY!!
