EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Makeover recipes are comfort-food favorites that have been remixed with less fat and sugar so they're healthier.

Sharp Cheddar cheese, mustard and cayenne bump up the flavor of this reduced-fat version of macaroni and cheese.

You can omit the topping and just sprinkle with a little paprika before baking.

The best mac and cheese I have made at home, usually the sauce is a little bland but this was not. The seasonings and the cream cheese really brought the flavor up, sooo good!!
