    TAKE MAC AND CHEESE TO THE NEXT LEVEL

    There are so many different ways to enjoy mac and cheese, but we’ve got a few of our favorites. First, try adding some roasted vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower for a bit of crunch.

    If you want something a little heartier, try browning ground beef or turkey and mixing it in. If you’re looking for something a bit more flavorful, try sautéing some bacon and adding it in.

    Lastly, if comfort food is what you crave, take the classic route with creamy macaroni mixed with an entire stick of butter melted on top. You can never go wrong there!

     In the end, it's up to you what kind of mac and cheese dish that you cook. Maybe you'll want to try a new recipe from this blog post or maybe your family has a favorite one. But either way, if there is anything we hope for in this world, it’s more macaroni and cheese dishes soon! So go ahead and give these other recipes a whirl next time you have friends over - they're delicious too!
