Super Cheesy Mac and Cheese



This recipe was created for our interview with country music artist Bailey James. She asked for mac and cheese. The dish is pretty basic. Yet, there are a few things you can do to dress it up. We did this that by adding 3 cheeses including sharp cheddar, monterey and smoked gouda. This 3 combined made a Super Cheesy Mac and Cheese. The sharp cheddar brought the bite. The monterey added balance and the smoked gouda finished it with a subtle elegant smokiness. Give this recipe for Super Cheesy Mac and Cheese a try.
