As with most kids, my son’s favorite dish is macaroni and cheese. It’s generally a favorite among most of my family. This version uses processed cheese to make it quick and easy, with a little block/shredded cheese for extra flavor. It’s an easy, tasty side dish that goes great with just about everything.
