I have made a lot of mac and cheese and even a lot of lighter mac and cheeses and I have to say this is hands down the absolute best mac and cheese I’ve made. It’s filled with sharp cheddar, creamy and really just fantastic. I made it for a family style dinner with friends and everyone put in their own toppings (I went with oven roasted grape tomatoes but there were quite a few bacon mac & cheeses around the table!). All my friends really loved it and it was incredibly easy to throw together. This is a recipe you’re going to want to make (and keep making)! :)
