I do not like macaroni and cheese; in fact I'd have to be starving to be forced to eat it. However, my family loves it. So for the sake of their happiness I have experimented with different versions of homemade macaroni and cheese. This recipe is hands down their favorite. The best part for me is that this recipe is quick. I can put it together and toss it in the crock pot (even late in the day because the cook time is quick). I've also just put it in the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes or so and that has worked well too.
