This mac and cheese is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I wasn't a big fan of this mac and cheese. I found the sauce to be too thick and the noodles were overcooked.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of pasta. I think penne or shells would work well.

I added some chopped bacon to the mac and cheese and it was delicious! It's a great way to add some extra flavor and texture.
