Now baked mac and cheese has to be the ULTIMATE comfort meal in my opinion. The combination of melted cheese and pasta is the perfect combination for a delicious creation.

LOVE WHAT YOU COOK. COOK WHAT YOU LOVE

One thing I have noticed about macaroni and cheese is that everyone is very opinionated about how they make it, but there is no right or wrong way to do this! Taste is subjective so you can follow my steps below or adjust a few items according to your liking. You can grate your own cheese, or you can use pre-shredded cheese as well.
