Sweetie Pie's Mac & Cheese

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is staying warm on this chilly winter day! 

I woke up this morning almost frostbitten from this crazy snow storm that blew through over night! It was nuts! I've never seen so much snow in my life! Y'all may not know but I am currently attending school in Utah, I accepted a scholarship to play volleyball at Southern Utah University so this has been home for the past few years. Weather like this definitely makes me miss all the mild winters in Texas!

Anyways, I realized the town became a winter wonderland overnight so I was trying to think of a delicious comfort recipe that would warm us up from shoveling the driveway all morning! When I suddenly thought of Sweetie Pie's Mac & Cheese. I got this recipe from watching Diners, Drive In's and Dives the other night and it's said to be one of the best mac and cheese recipes. So, of course I had to to try it!

Now let me tell y'all beware this recipe is extremely addicting and truly lives up to all the hype!
It's so easy that you will never want to make it from a box ever again!
