More About This Recipe

  • First of all, I absolutely adore any and all things mac and cheese. Second of all, I absolutely cherish any and all things curry. Third of all, I absolutely treasure any and all things sweatpants, but I probably shouldn't have brought that up. Lastly, this ain't my recipe. But I about DAHED when I saw it on the Food Network dot com. I seriously didn't change much at all, except I went with all milk, instead of milk and cream. But I'm a moron. Go with cream. And all the people said A the Mac and Cheese MEN. Broil it with some panko and butter on top for extra gorgeousness in your life. I almost can't even look at it. Wait, yes I can.
