Old Fashioned Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Old Fashioned Baked Macaroni and Cheese is my favorite way to make a mac and cheese bake made from scratch. It’s creamy, cheesy and so comforting. Plus, it’s just as easy as the box kind, but a million times better. It’s thick and rich, designed to be served as a hearty side that doesn’t run all over the plate.
