This was by far, the BEST mac N cheese that I have ever had. I took leftovers to work for lunch the next day, and some of my co-workers took a bite. One girl did not want to give my lunch back. I guess that speaks for itself.

Because my family all likes meat, I had to add ground chuck to it. It was good, I am thinking a little more spice on the next try, but will definetely make it again.
