This is the Mac and Cheese Art grew up eating and I recently realized that I had never posted the recipe to the blog.  I don’t make it often since it’s not the type of Mac and Cheese I most prefer, but it’s super tasty regardless and delicious.  It’s less cheesy than standard mac and cheese which also means that Lance likes it better.  It’s easy to turn into a more complete meal with the addition of ham cubes and broccoli pieces.
