Chef’s secret

If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of milk.

If you like your mac and cheese toasted on top, put it in a baking dish and brown it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

You can switch out classic paprika for smoked paprika.

To kick it up an extra notch, add bacon bits and green onions.
