Easy Macaroni and Cheese

 

Easy Macaroni and Cheese is a favorite with Judy Shaw's children and grandchildren, and she always doubles the recipe when taking it to reunions.

Shaw, 59, of Fairplay has been making the dish for about 15 years, and she plans to take it to her family reunion in August.
