This Creamy Mac and Cheese is legit! It’s exactly as described, totally creamy and decadent. This works great with elbow macaroni but if you have a box of another kind of pasta lying around, you can mix it up with that. If you are a mac and cheese fan, you need to get this baking in your oven right away! If you want to see my other recipes, check out my Baked Mac and Cheese and my Garlic Bacon Mac and Cheese!
