I knew I wanted to make Mac & Cheese for Thanksgiving and I wanted to make it from scratch, since I had never done it before. I came across this recipe on Fresh From Cate’s Kitchen and loved that it still only used the stovetop. This was so creamy and delicious. It was quick and easy to throw together as well. Everyone loved it. You could also put it in a dish and top with extra cheese and bake if for about 15-20 ninutes if you wanted to.
