Humphrey’s Mid Century Macaroni and Cheese
"I have made dozens and dozens of different macaroni and cheese, casseroles, searching for the perfect one and I keep coming back to this childhood recipe from my grandmother. Pretty straightforward, but still my favorite. Sodium citrate keeps the cheese soft and keeps it from curdling."
