Easy Peasy Mac 'n' Cheesy

     One staple of any American kitchen is the humble macaroni and cheese.  Everybody has their theory on the "secret" ingredient and there's really no way to mess it up.  It represents comfort and love in a bowl!  This particular recipe was seen on an episode of The Kitchen on Food Network.  It takes only a few minutes and uses ingredients that you probably already have.  The measurements below will make a family-sized portion, but can be tweaked for whoever you're cooking for.  This mac 'n' cheese is easy peasy!  Enjoy!

Easy Peasy Mac 'n' Cheesy:
Ingredients - 
1 cup heavy cream
1 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/2 cup grated or shredded cheddar
2 slice American cheese
3 cups prepared pasta
Salt, to taste

Directions - 
Heat the heavy cream in a skillet over high heat.  Be careful that it doesn't boil.  Continue heating until edges start to bubble.   Stir in cream cheese, salt, and garlic.  Whisk so that everything in incorporated.  Allow to cook for a little bit so that the mixture thickens.  Add the cheddar and American cheese and continue whisking.  Pour the sauce over the pasta and serve immediately.  So yummy!
