Introduction
When you (or your family) have a craving for mac & cheese, this is a great way incorporate vegetables while still enjoying the cheesiest!In comparison with the classic preparation, I've reduced the fat with less butter and a lower fat milk. I also increased the amount of milk to ensure there is enough sauce for the added broccoli. We usually eat this along with a lean meat and another vegetable.
