Classic Mac and Cheese

PAPA ZA’S KITCHEN

One of the most iconic comfort foods in the world. Classic Mac and Cheese. I could stop right there and that would be enough of a description for the almighty yet so darn simple, macaroni and cheese. I can take a wild guess and assume nearly everyone had tried mac and chee before.

But I think if I don’t talk about not baking this recipe like many would advise, I couldn’t explain why we prefer non baked mac and cheese over baked mac and cheese. Not only is non baked mac and cheese creamier and cheesier, it’s also easier. Plus if you decide to put it on a pizza, then it will bake anyways for all you traditional baked mac and cheesers!
