MAC N CHEESE

Macaroni and cheese (Mac N Cheese) is a very simple and easy to cook dish made from elbow macaroni and cheese. Though it is often baked as a casserole, it can also be cooked on stove top. Most recipes use all purpose flour to prepare the white sauce, but this recipe has no all purpose flour, but yet is cheesy and delicious. The dish gets done in a span of 15 minutes which includes the time taken for cooking the macaroni. Hence this is one quick meal ideal for those wishing for a cheesy delicacy on a cold winter day.
