Recipe of the Week | Lanie's Mac and Cheese

Ashley - May 26, '20 - Recipe of the Week - Recipes

Ashley here! I grew up with a grandma I called Lanie (her name was Elaine... really creative, I know) who would make the best meals known to man. This is Lanie with baby Ashley and my baby brother:

She was one of those grandmas who made you close your eyes and take a bite of something because she knew if you saw white cheese instead of yellow cheese that your little 6-year-old brain would immediately attempt to reject it. That's how she introduced me to sharp white cheddar cheese - no joke. My parents had given me so many Kraft cheese singles in my life that I had no idea cheese could be any other color than yellow. Well... now it's all I eat. Give me the sharpest white cheddar cheese you can find. I will devour it. That's why Lanie's mac and cheese recipe is my all-time favorite. I'm going to share it with you below, and I really hope that if you make it, you share a photo with me on our Facebook group or tag us on Instagram!
