3FC Macaroni and Cheese

I made this tonight (5/7) and it was horrible! The sauce tasted great before I mixed it with the macaroni, but when it was done, it had soaked in and congealed into gritty little pieces with absolutely no flavor at all! It was very filling, but almost completely tasteless. Definitely won't be making it again!
