This was delicious! I have to admit I was skeptical if the adults would like it (I'm kind of a homeade mac-n-cheese snob), but we really enjoyed it! Thanks for making it!
ReplyDeleteThis was good. At least the kids liked it. Adults weren't too fond of it. Would have been better fresh (mac-n-cheese). Fed big family well.
ReplyDeleteWe liked this meal. It wasn't our favorite. Need a little more spice to it. Quick and easy meal to serve a lot of adults.
