WW POINTS VALUE: 7 (generous 1 cup)

Note This recipe appears in the New WW Complete Cookbook. I was super hungry and totaly in the mood for some macaroni and cheese plus I wanted to clean out the fridge. This recipe can be made in about 20 minutes or less. This recipe will work with any shredded cheeses you have in your fridge but be sure that at least one of them is a sharp cheese like cheddar. Sharp cheeses ensure good flavor. Plus, what is macaroni and cheese without cheddar? The pepper also gve this dish an extra kick that anyone will enjoy.
