Mexican Mac & Cheese

Serves 4-6 Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 14 minutes   Rated:

Repeat after me: “I am not afraid of carbs. I am not afraid of carbs.” This amazing take on good ol’ mac ‘n’ cheese will have you reaching for another serving, so just accept it, move on and get to the gym in the morning. It is completely delicious in a comforting “family food” sort of way, and the little tackers will love it.
