    If I used KD this thing would have cost more than twice as much. I am strictly generic when it comes to mac and cheese out of a box. My wife only lets me make a bechamel base once in awhile.

      I have a pot of macaroni going on right now. It’s really easy to make your own. Drain the pasta. Add shredded cheese, a dash of milk and some butter.

      Oh if you want to make some roux that will thicken up the sauce. It tends to stay good whenrefrigerated for a few months.

        I know how to make at least three kinds of Mac and cheese from scratch. The issue is that this is a comfort food for my wife. Mess up a wife’s comfort food by trying to do it better and they get really upset.

        Try this, skip the milk and butter. Use sour cream. Four to one ratio of shredded cheese to sour cream by volume. If you have a melting smoked cheese available bump it up with that.
