White Cheddar and Parmesan Macaroni and Cheese

White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese. My girls love Macaroni and Cheese.  They are true toddlers and they will eat any kind of pasta in a cheese sauce.  Who are we kidding…..most everybody will eat pasta in cheese sauce!!

White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese

I originally found a pin on Pinterest that read “White Cheddar and Parmesan Mac and Cheese”.  I thought that it sounded worth a try and the picture was very appetizing.  So, I clicked on the link and took a look at the recipe.  The recipe got rave reviews…..however, there was not one ounce of White Cheddar or Parmesan.  Odd!  So, I cut the recipe in half and made it the original way in one dish, and I tweaked the other dish to accurately portray the name.  Both are delicious.  You can find the original recipe HERE.

    1. I have only ever made it with the Velvetta, but if you try it without, let me know how it tastes and what you substitute with.
