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.

This mac and cheese recipe is the definition of comfort food. The creamy sauce is perfectly cheesy and the noodles are cooked to perfection.
