I know there are a thousand recipes for macaroni and cheese, but this one is a family favorite. I don't make it much, since it's pretty unhealthy. It is a holiday favorite, though, which is why I looked it up, and wanted to put it here. I usually make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. (It's good to make when you're taking a family a meal too.) The kids like it, but it's fancy enough for grownups!
I omit the ham and the parsley, just as a side note.
