While we were moving from Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR – I thought there should be a recipe to make REAL Mac N’ Cheese that you can make in your hotel or motel room ( granted you have a microwave). I really thought about how to utilize what you could easily get for free to help make this meal

Tried this recipe for dinner last recipe.. wasn’t travelling but just wanted something easy haha. My husband loved it! I’m not a big “cheese” person but it was pretty good.. I wanted more flavor (again, no offense to you or the recipe but I’m not big on the cheese taste)- any suggestions?
wow what a great idea. we are going for a week long road trip up the oregon coast and i was looking for some easy meals i could make in the hotel room as to limit eating out so much. we would rather splurge on a few nice restaurants and DIY the rest of our meals
