The Best Mac and Cheese Ever – this is the most delicious, creamy and luxurious mac and cheese recipe ever – without any mustard seed in the sauce!
If I had to pick one food as my all-time comfort food, it would easily be mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese, when made right, is so luxurious, creamy, rich and full of cheesy flavor- and is one of the easiest, most simple recipes to make from scratch at home.
My only problem with a lot of mac and cheese recipes is that they rely on mustard seed to give a bit of a zip and tanginess in the sauce and color the dish – but I am allergic to mustard!
I had to come up with a good recipe that has a bit of variation in the cheese so I could skip the mustard, and I think this recipe is my all-time favorite. It is delicious, luxuriously creamy and thick, and so easy to make.
This is going to be your all-time favorite mac and cheese recipe ever – I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does! It is our go-to for deliciously easy dinners!
