Southern Lady's Mac and Cheese
Southern Lady's Mac and Cheese is full of Southern comfort. This easy recipe would be a great side dish to bring to a potluck or as a hearty casserole for a family dinner. It's made with elbow macaroni noodles, a simple homemade cheese sauce, and refrigerated biscuits that bubble up when baked. You'll love the down-home flavors like sharp Cheddar cheese and buttery biscuits. While this makes an excellent side dish for any occasion, it's substantial enough to stand on its own. To serve as a main dish, pair with a fresh salad or green vegetable.
