Baked Mac and Cheese for One

What a wonderful way to indulge yourself in macaroni and cheese... while still maintaining portion control It's creamy, cheesy, and better than any single-serve mac and cheese you'll get from the store. Quick and easy to make, you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already. A great recipe if you're cooking for one.. Cooking for one can be a challenge. No matter how much I like something, I don't really want to eat it for the next 5 days, ha What I love about this recipe, is that I can make myself a nice, creamy, single serving of mac & cheese, or I can double or triple it if I want some to take to work or share with a friend. It's soooo much better than that boxed stuff
