Old-Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese
My mom has been making this recipe since before I was born. My grandmother also made it this way and it came from a 1954 Betty Crocker cookbook that we still have! It’s so delicious and very different from most mac-n-cheese’s you get today.
This makes about 6 servings.
NOTES I had to bake mine for about 54 minutes.

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without my mama’s mac-n-cheese!
