A creamy, comforting and slightly spicy macaroni and cheese that's made in the slow cooker. This is a perfect side dish for dinner or an offering at a potluck.
Adorable little bites of three-cheese macaroni seasoned with smoked paprika
This Gluten Free Mexican Taco Nacho Mac and Cheese is a quick and easy dinner idea that comes together in less than 30 minutes.
Get your bowls ready! You'll want a big one for this rich, creamy butternut squash macaroni and cheese topped with a pretzel crust.
Stovetop Kale Macaroni and Cheese features a simple, from-scratch macaroni and cheese recipe mixed with kale sauteed in garlic and topped with a buttery cracker bacon crumble that can be made in under 30 minutes!
Bell peppers are stuffed with jalapeno mac and cheese, black beans, corn, tomato and topped with pepper jack cheese
Cavatappi (corkscrew) pasta, bathed in a creamy sauce of Gruyere and mascarpone, combines with chunks of tender lobster to make a decadently rich and flavorful stovetop mac and cheese that's easy enough for a weeknight dinner, yet elegant enough for a special occasion.
Burgers are nestled between deep fried mac and cheese buns
This creamy Greek yogurt macaroni and cheese has all the creamy, cheesy comfort of the traditional dish but is a whole lot lighter and healthier for you!
Taking the ultimate comfort food and stepping it up by adding bacon (I mean, hello.), asparagus and some decadent aged white cheddar and extremely sharp cheddar cheese. Macaroni and Cheese doesn't get much more decadent than this!
Spicy wing sauce is swirled into the luscious – but low fat! – cheese sauce, and blue cheese crumbles are incorporated into the crispy panko topping to create little melty pillows amongst the crunch.
This recipe was inspired by a show on the Travel Channel. They went through the 10 best pizza places in the US. I am a pizza fanatic, so you know I couldn't miss that show. The pizza I was most intrigued with was the Mac & Cheese Pizza. The original pizza on tv was just crust, pasta and cheese. I thought it needed a little something more, so I added some alfredo sauce and topped it with some bacon. It turned out great.
I'm guessing my pork belly macaroni and cheese recipe probably falls under "gourmet indulgence". But it doesn't have to. Pork belly is actually rather humble food. Because pork belly is bacon. Well, I mean it's the same cut of the pig. Bacon is cured and often smoked. But it starts out as pork belly. So it's hardly what you'd call eatin' high on the hog. Besides, you can make bacon, right? So you can make pork belly macaroni and cheese too.
Individual meatloaves are made with ground turkey, stuffed with prepared macaroni and cheese, and then wrapped in bacon before baking.
This Chipotle Beer Mac & Cheese is oozing cheese-y goodness. It has a hint of smoky spice with a subtle essence of pale ale in the background.
Really, this isn't so much a post about how to make macaroni and cheese as it is a post about what to do with leftover macaroni and cheese. So I will let you find your own path to macaroni and cheese. If you make the macaroni and cheese specifically for this purpose, that's fine too, of course. But you're going to have to let it cool in the refrigerator for a while. It needs to be easy to handle. Because you're going to abuse it.
In this healthier take on mac and cheese, pumpkin stands in for the heavy cream, cutting way back on the calories and fat while giving you over 200% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A!
The creamy mac is loaded with sweet caramelized onions that are infused with beef broth and fresh thyme (dried thyme works just as good too). Top it all off with some swiss cheese and a little sprinkle of crushed croutons. The croutons give it a delicious crunch to add some texture to this tasty dish
I used an aged gouda and a smoked fontina for my mac and cheese. The smoked cheese added a nice earthy touch to the recipe, but if you're having a hard time finding it, substitute regular fontina instead.
Hatch chiles are a type of green chile from New Mexico. If you don't have freshly roasted hatch chiles, just go ahead and use canned green chiles.
The beauty of this macaroni and cheese is that it is loaded with cauliflower and a minimal amount of cheese. Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream keep this recipe low-fat, but still nice and creamy. It can also easily be made vegan with the use of Daiya Swiss cheese and dairy-free yogurt. Use whole wheat pasta for extra fibre. A delicious, healthier spin on macaroni and cheese!
This was inspired by my love of mushrooms. And I guess it reminded me of Swiss-mushroom burgers. Without the burger part.
This creamy, baked macaroni and cheese recipe does double duty as a side dish or a hearty meatless meal. The near-perfect flavor combination of goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes combines perfectly with the creaminess of the melted fontina and the delicate onion flavor of the chives to make a fabulous variation on a classic casserole dish.
Ground beef is mixed with chipotle mac and cheese, seasonings, and kidney beans.
Our super popular mac and cheese recipe just got OUTRAGEOUS. I am not sure I will ever make another mac and cheese recipe again – because it just can't possibly get any better. You will love our secret ingredient.
In the end, this recipe will not be winning any low-calorie awards, but I think the whole wheat pasta and nutritious greens put it resoundingly on the 'good' side of the good-for-you spectrum. Not to mention the delicious one.
A box of macaroni and cheese mix and a few veggies are all you need for mason jar veggie macaroni and cheese, and an affordable and cheery dinner in no time!
