Down Home Macaroni & Cheese

In planning a party, mac & cheese is usually a hit with the kids. This recipe was a hit with the kids AND the adults. I found it on Kraft.Com. I didn't alter the recipe at all ~ but I did quadruple it ~ and it turned out great. The only thing at the party (besides the keg) that there was absolutely none left! Can't wait to make it again in the fall for a football party.
