I have been using Grandma’s Special Classic Macaroni & Cheese for Mac and Cheese since the beginning of time! Truly a classic and a staple.
It’s just a divine mac and cheese, lightly tangy and very flavorful.
I think the dry mustard makes it taste extra special. I’ll make this over and over again!
A great side dish that can be served with almost anything!
