With a picky family including a 4 year old; mac and cheese is a 5 star meal around here. How can it not be? There are so many possibilities. We have come so far from the blue box.

Philly Cheesesteak Mac and Cheese
This one skillet meal starts with pasta cooked in butter and milk to create a soft and tender macaroni. Provolone and Parmesan cheeses give this sauce the perfect cheesy goodness and a full pound of ground beef makes this the beefiest mac and cheese. I love my cheesesteaks loaded with peppers so we added roasted red peppers and peperoncini to really pump up the flavor.
