There’s no doubt that everyone loves macaroni and cheese. We at AllFreeCasseroleRecipes love it because it’s so versatile. It can serve as a main dish, side dish, or even as an appetizer. You can put so much good stuff into a macaroni and cheese dish. Many variations include the addition of meats, such as chicken or ground beef. There are also tons of mac and cheese dishes that add vegetables for more color and texture. Even a simple mac and cheese with extra herbs and spices can be amazing.

These recipes look so good. I grew up with mac and cheese with ham though, so that will always be my personal favorite.
Mac & cheese has always been a favorite of mine ever since I was a little girl. My mom makes amazing baked macaroni and cheese but I’ve found that she’s grown frustrated with her recipe because it takes more than an hour to make (with preparations). I was immediately intrigued by the Chicken Parmesan Mac & Cheese recipe because it sounded delicious and different from your ordinary mac & cheese.The cooking time is only 45 minutes and there are only 6 basic ingredients (a money and time saver!) Can’t wait to make this for my mom! Thank you for sharing!
Mac and cheese with broccoli is my regular once a week
