Notes
- You can use other varieties of mac like Kraft. But keep in mind that they don't use prepared cheese sauce so you'll have to make the cheese sauce with the powdered cheese packet, milk, and butter.
- If you use another variety of mac, the sauce may not be quite as thick and creamy.
- You can use other garnishes like blue cheese and ranch dressing.
