Baked Mac and Cheese - it's amazingly cheesy, deliciously comforting and perfect for holidays and weekends! Macaroni noodles are cooked to al dente then tossed with a luxuriously creamy cheddar and gruyere sauce, then topped with crispy toasted panko and oven baked. It's one of the ultimate side dish recipes!
My Favorite Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe
This is my family's favorite macaroni and cheese! I've made it several times at holidays and it's usually the top thing that gets the most compliments and repeat requests. It's just that good!
You just can't go wrong with an extra saucy, classic side dish like this. Because who doesn't love cheese??
Sure it's pricey to buy the imported Gruyere cheese but it's worth it. The combination of extra sharp cheddar and Gruyere makes the best macaroni and cheese!
Then we up the decadence by also adding a fair amount of butter and some half and half to the recipe. This sauce is rich!
And don't even get me started on that panko topping. This just wouldn't be the same with out it. That crisp textural contrast perfectly compliments the tender noodles and creamy sauce.
Add this to your holiday menu everyone will love it! And while you're at it you may as well do a test run this weekend. I'm always looking for a reason to make this over-the-top delicious macaroni and cheese! View the Recipe
