{not your ordinary mac and cheese}

I got this recipe off of the pioneer women cooks blog. I love her blog if you haven't looked at it well your missing out on something special. My family all loved it even Cole. I am not going to lie I had three helpings and I even scraped the plate when I was done. Let me know if you like it as much as we did. Happy cooking.
