MAC 'N' CHEESE FOR A BUNCH
I've seen OAMC recipes for macaroni and cheese that were geared more for huge crowds...I even saw one once for 200 people! Personally, that's a bit much for my OAMC needs, LOL...Then one day, I'm thumbing through an old issue of Taste of Home magazine from April May 2007 and I found a simple, far more reasonably sized OAMC recipe for macaroni and cheese which I tweaked to lower the fat content slightly...So here it is for safekeeping and future use!
