AHHH I am SO super excited to bring you all this amazing recipe that my family makes for occasional Sunday family dinner OR every Holiday!
With the upcoming holidays quickly approaching, I thought it was only fitting to share this MEGA delicious recipe with you all!!
Pure comfort food at its finest! This is unlike any other mac & cheese recipe out there- trust me on this one.
It can easily be made into a MAIN course by adding either ground beef, chicken , bacon or even ham to the dish!
This will most surely be the star of all the side dishes if you choose to make it for the holidays- time to IMPRESS everyone! 😉
.
.
Do not assemble WAYY ahead of time (night before etc) only because the macaroni will soak up the sauce and takes away the perfect al dente of the pasta.
If you really want to make it ahead of time, just dont toss the macaroni in the sauce UNTIL close to when you are going to be serving 🙂
The topping really sets this one over the top- its SOO good!
.
You can always swap the cheddar out for your own personal favorite cheeses, any combinations work!

I’m a 69 year old man. I made this the other night it was outstanding. The only thing I did beyond was to put it in my smoker. Thanks a million.
