Easy + Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
Let’s make some easy + creamy macaroni and cheese!
Look, I consider myself a mac and cheese connoisseur. I’ve dabbled with fancy macaroni and cheese, baked macaroni and cheese, crockpot macaroni and cheese (not a good one FYI), but when it comes to simple and delicious, this is my go-to recipe.
It’s super easy to throw together and makes a perfect side dish or main dish. It’s the macaroni and cheese recipe my kids always ask for and I’m not mad about it. Seriously so easy + creamy.
I love pairing this easy + creamy macaroni and cheese with grilled chicken and some veggies, but it’s also good as a meal all on its own! 10/10 recommend making this deliciously easy + creamy macaroni and cheese.
