Expert Tips

Purchase the cheese already shredded in an 8-ounce package.
And this is just the beginning! While stirring the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, try adding sliced ripe or green olives or bite-size pieces of cooked vegetables, hot dogs or cooked sausage.
Add a 4-ounce can of chopped green chilies, drained, for a perked-up version of mac and cheese.
