NOTES : From Mimi: Believe it or not, this was served at a temple dinner one Friday night. It was so good, I asked for the baked macaroni and cheese recipe. Low fat, it's not, but I have had some success using lower fat ingredients such as milk and sour cream, though I wouldn't bother with nonfat sour cream. I also use less cheddar than this recipe calls for...or I double everything except the sour cream and cheddar. Whatever works...it's the best version I've ever eaten.
