This macaroni literally only takes 5 minutes to prepare, and you can easily make multiple pans at once to feed a huge crowd! If you don't have fresh thyme, feel free to use dried. The sharp white cheddar in this recipe gives it tons of flavor and maximum creaminess!
What you will need
3 Tbsp Butter
