Aunt Mae's Mac and Cheese
Why I Love This Recipe
Everyone can't seem to get enough of Aunt Mae's Mac and Cheese. If there is a family outing or we go to Aunt Mae's for dinner, we can always count on mac and cheese (unless she has made her famous spaghetti!). If there is a church dinner, then everyone says, "Mae, you can bring the macaroni and cheese." If there is a potluck supper, you are going to find Aunt Mae's Mac and Cheese there. If food is prepared for the family who has a loved one who is sick or has passed away, Aunt Mae will take them macaroni and cheese. I don't think I can ever remember not seeing Aunt Mae carrying in 1-2 dishes of her macaroni and cheese for a food occasion.
