White Cheddar Mac & Cheese
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
My mac and cheese is simple and has lots of flavor from the cheeses and ground chipotle chile. I use conchiglie pasta because its shape allows more melted cheese to pool inside. Yum! —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia
