One Pot Tuscan Style Mac & Cheese
I found this recipe on Cafe Delites (https://cafedelites.com/tuscan-chicken-mac-and-cheese/. It was pretty simple and very delicious! Everything is done in one pot, and you don't cook the macaroni... it cooks in the sauce. I just simplified it a little bit to be nicer on your shopping list budget.

My fave mac-n-cheese was always Kraft growing up. This mac-n-cheese is so much tastier (and healthier) than that blue box, and still made all in one pot. No flour and no blocks of processed cheese....The starch from the pasta being cooked in the milk is what creates the sauce. And, as always, if you use cheese that you've shredded yourself, the texture of the final product will be so much better and creamier. I usually use a mix of sharp white and yellow cheddar and some parmesan, but use whatever combination you like.

Instant Pot Mac and Cheese Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
A super quick recipe I found online.. But I've changed the cheeses around and combined them. I use what I have as long as it's 12 Oz of grated cheese. I haven't used mozzerella though, just because it's too stringy. There is something that cannot be changed. Don't use the pre-shredded cheese in a bag as it makes the Mac and cheese gritty. Always use the brick form cheese and grate it yourself. Thanks bunches as always, to my hubby Mike for his photography.

Tex-Mex Mac & Cheese Tex-Mex Mac & Cheese
My family loves mac & cheese. One day I was making Tex-Mex Chicken and had made mac & cheese to go with it but wanted it to follow the Tex-Mex dinner theme I was going with so I found some Taco Bell Taco Sauce packets in the fridge and threw them in to the macaroni and it came out great. If you want to just change up your regular old mac & cheese, this will be the one for you.
