Day 16 of 20 (4/20 Foods) – Mac and Cheese with French’s Fried Onions

Mac and Cheese is just amazing. Pasta in a cheese sauce is always delicious and ours is pretty darn good we must admit.  We added French’s Fried Onions on top ours because it’s not just for thanksgiving green beans!  Don’t get too caught up in the fried onions, they are addictive.

  1. Oh goodness, was that the sound of arteries slamming shut as I gorged on this dish? Who knew it could be so good? The crunchiness of the onions combined with the delicious mac ‘n cheese gives it just the right touch. I will eat a salad later.
