Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese Recipe from In the Kitchen with David

I LOVE comfort food. I mean, what’s not to love? Food that comforts the soul. Clearly I love it, or I’d not be so…well, round. One of my favorite comfort foods is macaroni and cheese. It’s also one of my favorite things to cook. I make a mean mac’n'cheese, if I do say so myself, and yes, yes I am saying it. But earlier I tried the Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese recipe from “In the Kitchen with David,” David Venable‘s new cookbook that’s ALL about the comfort foods.

I had to modify the macaroni and cheese recipe just a tiny bit- we had a different kind of pasta and forgot to thaw bacon (seriously? who forgets BACON details? only me!) but we had a ham dinner the previous night and I decided that some ham would be just as delicious on the side.

But oh, my goodness. I made mine in my cast iron pan (always trying to get that iron in!) and dinner was divine.

All three kids had three helpings. I had two. Even my husband who is not a fan of pasta dishes in general, enjoyed this. I think it may be the mustard but I don’t care. I love the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese.
