Katie's Mac N Cheese

Tried it. 

LOVED it!!

Plus, it was super easy!

I used all sweet potato, which was delicious, but I might try a half & half concoction next time. There seems to be plenty of room to play around with this one. And if you're skeptical about whether your kids will detect the veggies, they won't.  Just leave out the mushrooms if they don't eat mushrooms & puree the veggies really smooth (we loved the mushrooms, btw). Brandon couldn't tell, until he saw the leftover sweet potato on the counter and clued in. The cheese sauce (at least mine was) was pretty thick, so I thinned it with a little pasta water, but you could use some more milk, too, if that's your thing. I also think you could do 2.5 maybe even 3 C of pasta if you add the pasta to the cheese sauce gradually and stop when your heart desires.

I am definitely making this one again!

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I also found the cheese sauce to be super thick and had to thin it out a bit. I don't know if you ended up with leftovers, but I've found it to reheat nicely as well, fyi.
