Macaroni and Cheese-- My Way image

This is a recipe I put together myself and have made it this way for a very long time. It took me awhile until I got it just right adding this and that. I hope you will give it a try and see if it is to your liking. Enjoy it with rolls and butter and a fresh vegetable salad.
