MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR TWO RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Macaroni and Cheese for Two Recipe: How to Make It image

This is one of those dishes that our family calls "a Mama recipe." My mother rarely consulted a cookbook, so when asked for a recipe, she could only estimate. I've worked out the ingredients to make it for two, but it can easily be doubled. It's simply a good, wholesome dish most folks seem to enjoy. —Betty Allen, East Point, Georgia
