Here’s a recipe Mr. Cooking Jar swears by as the ‘Best mac and cheese in the world’. It’s from by his best friend’s mom and something he grew up with. Word of warning? There’s tons of cheese!
It’s insanely rich and a definite fix to your cheese craving. With Velveeta in there, your’e gonna get your liquid gold. But for those of you that want to steer away from processed cheese, I recommend a substitute of any kind of freshly shredded cheddar.
She was nice enough to pass on the recipe so enjoy!
