This recipe is FANTASTIC. I’ve been experimenting with different Mac and cheese recipe ideas for the last year. This is by far the best, AND I have to say the addition of the mustard is actually really nice, and I wouldn’t have tried it without this contest, so I’m so glad I did!

I’ve made it 3 times now and I love it more each time. My kids, who are kraft mac and cheese fans, even like it! it’s the first from scratch Mac and cheese they’ve liked (although they did point out that’s PENNE and cheese, not mac and cheese). It’s great as a side, by itself or it’s great with sauteed veggies!
