Mac 'n Cheese

Anestheggthiologist · September 2006

With fall just around the corner here in upstate NY, I got to thinking about "comfort" foods, my fave being mac and cheese. Any ideas, experiences, recipes out there would be greatly appreciated! I'm thinking a little Egg smoke could be amazin on the right M & C recipe.
Thanks!
P.S. Today it's a smorgasbord of wings(go Bills!), fatties, portabellos, and Zweigles Hots! Bon apetit to all!
