The white sauce is a combination of butter, flour, and milk.
For this recipe, I used 2 percent milk.
I find 2 percent to be the best for this Cracker Barrel mac and cheese.

Once everything is combined and smooth, you sprinkle in the cheese.
However, this recipe really could work with any punch in of cheese.
You could swap out Colby cheese with sharp cheddar, pepper jack cheese, or even blue cheese.
The easy way to make healthier comfort foods.
