Cheesy Mac and Cheese (without the mess)

Since this is my recipe, of course I'm going to rate it 5 stars! Lol... Just a few notes though: I usually use the American cheese slices, and just break them up into little pieces. More recently, I've used Rienzi kids macaroni with carrot and squash to add the vegetable factor, lol. Also, while the bread crumbs add that extra oomph, they're not totally necessary. But when you add the crumbs, I sometimes put a sliver of butter on the corners of the pan, just so it doesn't burn. Hope you guys love it! (whenever possible, use low fat/reduced fat products... it comes out just as great!) The cover photo is from the first time I made it, and I have since improved my presentation, lol.
