Baked Mac And Cheese Recipe
Today, I’m sharing my baked mac and cheese recipe with a must-have ingredient – bread crumbs!
Now that the holidays are here, it’s time to think about what to cook and bake!
If I’m being honest, I tend to stick with the same traditional food I ate as a kid and dishes I have been making for my family for years. There is something comforting about the familiar.
Baked Mac And Cheese Recipe
One of my family’s favorite holiday side dishes is baked mac and cheese. It’s a simple dish but so warm and gooey that it pairs perfectly with turkey or ham. It’s simply the best.
Today, I’m sharing my personal baked mac and cheese recipe, which includes a must-have ingredient: bread crumbs! Bread crumbs give the top of the mac and cheese a nice crunch that elevates basic mac and cheese. It’s an ingredient that you do not want to leave out.
Okay, let’s get on to the recipe!
