Notes
• If you want a creamier mac and cheese, use more sour cream.
• To add extra flavor, try using smoked cheddar or gruyere in place of the cheddar.
• Feel free to add other toppings, such as bacon bits or diced jalapenos.
• If the mac and cheese get too dry, add a bit of milk or cream before baking.
