Notes

Playing with Cheese
Mac and Cheese can have so many different flavors and tastes depending on what type of cheese you use and the ratio of cheeses. We enjoy having an undercurrent of American cut through the sharp cheddar cheese. Some American is required because the ingredients in the singles mixed with the evaporated milk brings the mixture together.
One: One: One
This recipe works on the perfect ration. It should be one-part evaporated milk to one-part pasta to one-part cheese. This makes it super easy to remember!
