My Own Macaroni and Cheese image

I am one of those people who never follows the recipe, so this recipe is great as it lends itself to that very well. It's also a great dish to throw in all the left over meat and veggies that you may have. Generally I add ingredients until it tastes good.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The mac and cheese still turned out great! It was just as creamy and cheesy as the traditional version.
