I previously shared this Macaroni and Cheese recipe as one of my top ten recipes of all time. I bring it to you once more because I wanted to film a cooking video for the YouTube channel, and cooking an all-time favorite seemed like a safe route!

While my cooking video attempt certainly isn't award-winning, I don't think it was a total disaster either, and that in itself is quite the success. I'm slightly embarrassed, but not so embarrassed that I'll never attempt it again. Maybe one day I will master this art! Let's hope for both of us that it's sooner rather than later.

Notes

Cheese can be shredded or cut into cubes. Cheese should be freshly shredded for a smoother sauce (rather than using pre-shedded bagged cheese).
