If you do end up using pre-shredded cheese in this recipe, you may need to add a little splash of whole milk. I know, I know, but it makes a big difference. Pre-shredded cheese has starch on it to keep it from clumping and is dryer than actual blocks of whole cheese. I recommend using blocks of cheese that you shred yourself. I recommend using two types of cheddar cheeses to give it the best flavor: sharp cheddar cheese and white cheddar cheese. I like the Cabot block cheeses, because they have such great flavor and make an epic homemade mac and cheese! Other yummy cheeses you can use include:

I cooked it at 350 and went to stir it after 45 min and it was cooked through already. (Thankful we have an extra fridge we can use for stuff like this) The day I was cooking it, I pulled it out of the refrigerator in the morning to start getting it to room temp. I took the roaster pan out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator 3 days before I was cooking it to start to thaw it. I put the prepared mac and cheese (minus the shredded cheese) in the roaster pan and put that in the freezer. This recipe worked well freezing, thawing and cooking in the oven/roaster.
