Mac N Cheese

Mac N Cheese

Ultimate comfort food, Mac and Cheese is a big bowl of yum I think. Perfect on this cold rainy Tuesday. Delicious enjoyed on its own as an easy lunch and perfect food for Bubba who could eat the whole saucepan.
I know there are lots of variations and Mac and Cheese can be spiced up with bacon, tomatoes, chillies and different types of cheeses but this is a great base recipe below for you guys to add your own twist too. My favourite is topping it with parmesan, breadcrumbs and crispy bacon bits.

Method

4.Drain macaroni, add to the cheese sauce base until mixed together and season
