Western Mac

There are so many dishes that I make that remind me of home, but I would have to say that Western Mac is definitely at the top of that list. It is TRUE comfort food to the max! I can remember numerous nights when I would have band practice in high school and I'd come home to find Western Mac on the table waiting for me.
