Stove Top Mac n' Cheese

Who doesn't love Mac n' Cheese? Did you know it's America's favorite comfort food? For most of us it reminds us of our childhood.  I always had the box kind growing up which is ok but homemade is so much better!  What I love about this Stove Top Mac n' Cheese is how simple it is. It's only a couple more steps than making mac n' cheese from a box and the flavor is so much better. And I loved that Levi (my cute toddler) loved it too! This recipe is adapted from Alton Brown who I admire very much. I love watching his show, "Good Eats." And I always trust his recipes.
