Expert Tips

Be sure to use whipping cream when making the sauce for this decadent mac 'n cheese. Milk or half-and-half are more likely to curdle when combined with acidic ingredients like tomatoes.

This has become my go to recipe for pot luck dinners. It is the first to disappear and the easiest to make. I have adjusted the type of cheddar if I do not have smoked cheese in the house. No worries of curdling using whipping cream.
