Baked Macaroni and Cheese #dinner #lunch

Báked mácároni ánd cheese doesn’t háve to be complicáted with láyers of ingredients to be the soul-wárming food you cráve. This homemáde báked mácároni ánd cheese is my most fávorite ánd  hás pleásed crowds, smáll fámilies, kids ánd picky eáters álike–give it á try ánd you’ll see why.

I háte feeding it to my kids ánd I dáre sáy thát you háte it too. But I cán álso guess you don’t know mány other álternátives. Sure, you cán get á box of Velveetá ánd melt thát over some noodles. Thát works too, but thát stuff doesn’t even need to be refrigeráted. It’s mystery cheese.

So if you’re looking for the reál deál, the old school báked mácároni ánd cheese the wáy your grándmá might háve máde it–this is it.

ánd just so you know, áside from the báking, this eásy mácároni ánd cheese took 15 minutes ánd only two páns to máke. One for boiling the pástá ánd (áffiliáte link) á good enámeled cást iron pán for the sáuce ánd the báking cuts down on dishes. So yes, even you cán máke this on á week night.

á tráditionál mác ánd cheese. Báke it with your fávorite cheeses, veggies or meáts for á one-dish wonder.
