I got my annual package from Pinconning Cheese Company. It contained sharp Pinconning cheese and elk summer sausage. I made Mac and cheese. I had to feed a bunch of folks so this recipe fits a 9 x 13 pan. The ingredients include 4 cheeses and a crispy topping. Pinconning cheese has been used in the World Mac and Cheese competition and won 3 times. I hope you like it.
