BEECHER'S "WORLD'S BEST" MAC & CHEESE



Beecher's

On a recent trip to Seattle we were lucky enough to visit Beecher's Handmade Cheese at Pike Place Market. They made the BEST mac and cheese I have ever had... and believe me I've had a LOT of mac and cheese! Imagine my delight when I found that they published their recipe on their website! So, here it is... of course you have to substitute locally found cheeses for their cheeses but I'm sure it will be just as delicious.
