Peggy, Mom, Sue & Phyllis at Grandma & Grandpa Langston's graveside
While in Alabama, one of the things we did was visit the gravesite of my Grandma and Grandpa Langston. When we got home later in the afternoon my aunt Peggy was asking everyone what we wanted to eat for lunch and in almost harmony my sweet mama and my aunt Sue and aunt Phyllis said, "Mama's Mac 'n Cheese". I'd never had my Grandma Langston's Mac 'n Cheese and I wanted to learn how to make it. My aunt Phyllis said, "Oh Honey, it's really easy...4-4-4-4".
(In honor of Grandpa Langston, we ate our Mac 'n Cheese with a side of tomatoes and peppers)
When I made this recipe today, I only had medium shell pasta so that's what I used. Also, during the last 3 minutes of boiling the pasta, I added 1 cup of peas. I also used 3 cups mild cheddar and 1 cup Velveeta for extra creaminess. I didn't think Grandma would mind!
