This recipe is from a cookbook titled Campbell's Creative Cooking With Soup, printed in 1985. As you read this recipe, the ingredients list will have Options and you can choose an option from the list below the ingredients. This is an excellent mac and cheese, highly recommended! I made the version with mushroom soup, milk, Cheddar, and potato chips on 29 May 2023, the family and I really enjoyed this.
