Dutch Oven Mac and Cheese

My children are always looking for their next bowl of mac and cheese. I really dislike taking the blue box with us camping though as I like them to try new things. However, every once in a while we like to give them what they love on a camping trip. I mean anything to push them a little farther on the trail right. So let's get carb-loading on this delicious Dutch Oven Mac and Cheese. You will be glad you went with this recipe over the blue box!
