My son loves macaroni and cheese and I'm not talking about the kind that comes out of the little blue box. I'm talking about homemade, from scratch mac & cheese -- and I've made several different kinds using all sorts of different cheeses and herbs. The one thing I've never done, though, is added meat and potatoes as Better Homes and Gardens suggested.
Now before you start thinking I added prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes to my macaroni and cheese, I'm going to burst your bubble. When I say meat and potatoes, what I mean is chopped up hot dogs and potato chips. I mean, do you really think a toddler is going to have any interest in mashed potatoes and prime rib? Of course not! But hot dogs, potato chips and mac & cheese? That's a slam dunk any night of the week.
