...then we do everything else.

It was our turn for friend dinner before softball this Tuesday. Last time we hosted, I pulled out good old mac and cheese. This week, thanks to what we had in our pantry, I went for

This was a hit with the gang of people that attended this evening. Plus, I really liked it. It is easy, delicious, and a crowd favorite. The major thing I would change in this recipe (this is a Cat original, so I can do these things) would be to leave out the sour cream and to just use the cheese along between layers. It doesn't do much in the world of flavor that is this dish and it is better just applied on top with a bit of Hot Sauce and/or Salsa.


Until the next meal...
