My homemade Macaroni Cheese recipe is what I’d call my signature dish if I ever decided to audition for Masterchef (not that I would with my lack of culinary skills) because everyone who tries it, loves it!
I can guarantee that if I ask either of the kids what they want to see on our meal plan, they’ll ALWAYS ask for homemade macaroni cheese and I’m pretty sure that 90% of the meal plans that I’ve ever shared on here will have featured this meal in one form or another.
We’ve had it with cooked broccoli or cauliflower added to it, with crispy bacon served chopped up on top, with leftover gammon stirred through it and even with chilli added to spice it up – in fact, we once we used spicy cheese instead of cheddar to really mix it up.
We have it as a meal as it is, or as a side dish with something else but I do reduce the recipe down by a half or two thirds when that’s the case.
This homemade macaroni cheese recipe is an absolute classic. It's easy and cheap to make but is the ultimate in comfort food that everyone in your family is going to love! I use mild cheddar as that's what I have in but if you use a stronger cheddar then I'd say you can easily use less cheese as the flavour is stronger.

Hi yes that is a good idea to shop with whats on special offer rather than what you fancy. I guess as long as you get the staples and things to go with the meals. Good way to look at it. Enjoy your sausages!
