Southern Baked Macaroni & Cheese is a southern classic recipe that is ultra gooey and packed pull of cheese, you will never use boxed again!
One of the easiest recipes to make is macaroni and cheese, it always made me wonder why so many people make the box kind!?
There’s no need to pick up Kraft when you can make it so easily at home and it tastes a million times better than powered cheese!
You can even make this recipe a full meal by adding in shredded rotisserie chicken to the mix or even ground beef!Â
This recipe is a staple in my house- everyone goes crazy over it, so I make it often- it even tastes wonderful the next day!
My husband requested I only make this version when making mac and cheese from now on
– I knew it was a winner 😉 My entire family cleared their plates!Â
