Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese

Every once in awhile I make an "unhealthy" meal - this one was requested by Jace. All of us love macaroni and cheese, it's a family staple, right? Growing up, we ate a lot of it so I decided to make this homemade recipe but topped it with breadcrumbs (Kevin's idea). Kevin likes meat in all of his meals so he purchased a rotisserie chicken and decided to top the macaroni and cheese with chicken. He seemed to have enjoyed it. I'm fine with just regular mac and cheese so this worked great for me. I also used reduced fat cheese (trying to still find healthy alternatives when I can). I'll be honest, it took awhile to make, but it was worth it by far.  This Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese recipe is from Southern Living and we added a few twists - including breadcrumbs on top with a quick broil and finished it off with Rotisserie Chicken.  Ingredients: 4 cups water 2 cups milk 16oz uncooked elbow macaroni 16oz cheese of your choice (we did 6oz reduced fat sharp cheddar
