Macaroni and Cheese always brings a smile to my face. It is a comfort food that is always delicious no matter what time of the day or season in the year. I had my sister over for dinner and was looking for something to make her. I immediately thought Mac and Cheese! But I wanted to make it different, so I decided to add chicken and a packet of ranch dressing that I had in my cabinet.
Dinner was delicious, we both loved it! The ranch seasoning brings a whole new taste to this dish. I will absolutely be making this again!
