I love Mac and Cheese. Right now it's one of the few dishes my son will eat. This recipe is great because you can make it ahead of time and put it in the fridge until ready to heat in the oven. I've noticed that when you do this you don't have to let the dish sit for 10 minutes once done in the oven...I usually am starving by then and can never wait...thus the dish turns into a soupy mess if you don't wait.
