This mac and cheese was made by my Grandma, mother, me and my children. It was my favorite growing up and now my youngest daughter's. Recently she (13 years old) asked if we were having mac n cheese for dinner. I asked why. She said because the white casserole dish was out. She then went on to request that she get the casserole dish when I die - not because of its value - because of her fondness for her Grandma's Mac n cheese. Sounds a little boring, but not. My husband likes to top his with a little Tabasco. My mother insisted on using Creamettes brand of macaroni.
