Microwave Mac ‘n’ Cheese

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
My family prefers homemade macaroni and cheese over the kind you get out of the box. This recipe is an easy way to keep them happy. Whenever we have a family get-together, I bring this comforting dish. Its "from scratch" taste can't be beat. -Linda Gingrich, Freeburg, Pennsylvania
