NOT-SO-NAUGHTY MACARONI & CHEESE
This is my adaptation of baked mac & cheese. I trimmed it down to better adhere to my diet plan and thought others out there craving their carby, cheesy fix might appreciate this lighter version.

Steps:
- Boil the macaroni according to package directions until al dente.
- In a large bowl, combine everything except the shredded cheese.
- Microwave for 2-3 minutes, checking periodically, until the butter is melted.
- Stir until smooth.
- Drain the macaroni and add to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine.
- In a lightly oiled 9x13 pan, layer 1/2 of the macaroni mixture. Top with half of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat with the other half of the noodles, finishing with shredded cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and browned to your liking.
- NOTE: I have experimented with different combinations of cheese. Cheddar is a great standby, but try adding a little pepper jack to the mix, or even a little bit of bleu for some bite.
