NOTES
use freshly shredded cheese that you buy by block and shred by yourself! It will taste much better than the other ones.
for the best results with the milk, use the powdered milk diluted in x3 of water. this step is very crucial to get the best creaminess of the mac and cheese.
keep in a fridge in a closed container for up to 4 days.
for reheating, add a little bit of warm milk and reheat in the oven.
