When it comes to mac and cheese, there are as many varieties as there are flavors of cheese in Switzerland. But this one is the best, simplest, creamiest version I’ve ever found.  It takes a matter of minutes to stir together the ingredients, and just about an hour to bake it all into mac and cheese perfection. And really, it is per.fect. Enjoy.

I love ham & mac & cheese together, but my husband won’t eat the combination. So frustrating! I’ll have to try this when he’s not around.
