This dish needs to be more creamy.
I love this recipe! This is the macaroni and cheese I grew up with. If you’re used to the box variety, it’s probably not creamy enough, but for those of us who grew up with the real thing, it’s perfect!
Sometimes I add prepared mustard and/or a pinch of horseradish for extra tang.
