Thanks Ali! I am excited to try this. It looks delicious. (It has to be with the cream cheese in there right!)

I seriously am about to cry. It's another hour until lunch, and you can bet the cafetorium doesn't have anything that delicious.

Yes on the cream cheese. It makes a big difference in the taste.

Emily, please don't cry because you can request this dinner of AJ. Or I can make it for game night after Katie's wedding.

The only mac'n cheese I've ever had is from a box, and I find that disgusting. But this sounds good. Perhaps I will try it. What kind of shredded cheese? Cheddar?

Any kind you want, but I used Mozerella.
