Recently, I was invited to take part in the Crazy Cooking Challenge, a group of bloggers cooking a featured recipe from another blog and voting to find the ULTIMATE recipe. The challenge for September is the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese Recipe.
I found a super delicious macaroni and cheese recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Liz from Hoosier Homemade. Liz's recipes are always delicious, simple, and frugal. She also makes the cutest cupcakes! I used her Baked Mac and Cheese recipe for the September Crazy Cooking Challenge. Yum!
