Soul food macaroni and cheese recipe



THE mac & cheese recipe!

I’m the designated person in my family to make mac & cheese.  So no matter the function, I know what I’m bringing & that its going to be banging!  I want to share my recipe, its really simple, but I don’t actually follow it, lol!  If I get a chance to get down to Findlay market, I go crazy over different fresh cheeses to try.  One of my faves is smoked mozzerella.  I sometimes add different spices, namely onion and garlic powder to give it more kick, so each time its a little bit different, but it always comes out delicious!
