New Old Fashioned Mac & Cheese, my favorite macaroni and cheese recipe. More flavor than the quick box stuff and worth the trouble.
New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese is SO flavorful.
New old-fashioned mac & cheese is so comforting.
Did you know that July 14 is National Mac & Cheese Day? Macaroni & Cheese has always been a comfort food in our family, even though many of us now know we are allergic to cheese. I sure wish I could eat it! It’s one of my “go to” recipes to take to friends when they need support.
This New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese, which is a Moosewood Restaurant recipe, contains three different cheeses, milk and that crowd-pleaser, pasta. Kids love it. Adults love it. This recipe is the best mac & cheese recipe you’re ever gonna find. Really. It’s that good. Everyone who eats it raves about it.
Tasty stuff: New Old-Fashoned Mac & Cheese
When our daughter Roni got married, Don made this delicious New Old-Fashioned Mac & Cheese (for 80 people!) to supplement the caterer’s food. He did a fabulous job, too. What a guy! Add a Green Bean Tomato Salad as a side dish to prevent you from eating too much of this amazing comfort food.
Tools Used for This Recipe
I used my food processor, knives, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, pans, and a baking dish. What would you use? I think this recipe originally came from the Moosewood New Classics Cookbook, one of my favorites!
