Notes
You can change up the flavor of this mac and cheese with other types of cheeses. If you're looking for a delicious flavor, start with good-quality cheese.
If you typically eat frozen, prepared, Kraft or similar mac and cheese this will not be as salty, add salt according to your taste.
I do like a teaspoon of chicken bouillon added with 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
