We went out to eat to celebrate my twins’ 9th birthday and I got White Mac & Cheese that was OH SOOOO good. It was delicious. But having to pay an extra to get a “premium side” hurt my frugal heart so I decided I had to come up with my own at-home version so I wouldn’t be tempted!
I used Cabot Extra Sharp White Cheddar and it was really good – and minimal ingredients means it is easy too!
You don’t need to bake this- it is ooey-gooey goodness right out of the pan but I like the crunchy bubbly cheese on top so I tossed it into a pan and put in the oven just a few minutes.
