I remember a time when (as a kid) I thought boxed mac and cheese was an excellent meal. Now that I’m older, I have seen the buttery, powdery truth: Real mac and cheese is so much better! Creating your own cheese and spice mix allows for some variation- don’t be afraid to try different combinations or flavorings. And everything’s better with bacon, right??
