I found this recipe through my mom to read it in a small town newspaper from Minnesota. It actually was submitted by a friend that I went to high school with that I’ve long since lost touch with. It is my favorite mac and cheese recipe and I’ve tried a lot of different recipes, believe me. So, Nancy, if you are out there – Thank you!

That recipe sounds so good! I’m such a pasta freak, but usually I’m too lazy to add more than a few ingredients. My Mac&Cheese usually isn’t more than cheese, milk, and pasta lol.
Thank you for posting this recipe – I may have to try it out!
