MACON, Ga. — Just in time for the holidays, we at 13WMAZ wanted to share some of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you!
For this episode, morning anchor Wanya Reese shares his family recipe for a classic side dish: mac and cheese.
Wanya learned his mac and cheese recipe from his grandma, and he can't stress how easy it is to make the dish. The secret to making it cheesy but firm is using condensed milk.
When Wanya makes the dish, he likes to add a little extra cheese on top.
