Meari, that looks really yummy! I'm looking for an alternative to the box mac n cheese that hubby eats now that we have to reduce his sodium & such. Is this a nice creamy mac n cheese? That's been my biggest challenge so far.

Oh, yum!

I make my macaroni cheese with a roux sauce. Melt all the cheeses into the roux, add sauteed onion, mushroom, ham. Mix the sauce and macaroni in a baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake until golden brown....

Oh no. Now I want to make some. I think a trip to the supermarket is in my very near future. LOL.
