    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.

    • Pour sauce over cooked macaroni.

    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).
