I call this Leftover Backed MAC&CHEESE Because I alway use my leftovers from a bbq so you can use left over grilled chicken, hamburger patties or smoked sausage etc.. just cut your leftover cooked meat into bite size. Very easy to throw together fast and your family won't even care or notice your using leftovers! This dish serves many come out creamy and is Delicious. Tip don't over bake! Enjoy ????
