Tired of Plain Mac and Cheese? Try These Twists!
Mac and cheese is one of the ultimate comfort foods—but that doesn’t mean it has to be basic. With just a few simple mix-ins, you can turn a plain box (or homemade batch) into a flavor-packed dish that feels brand new.
Whether you’re using up leftovers or getting creative with what’s in the fridge, these mac and cheese additions are here to level up your next bowl.
You can top your mac and cheese for a bowl style feel or mix it in similar to a casserole. Either way you can turn a simple side dish into a full meal!
New Ways to Make Mac and Cheese a Meal!
I am a huge fan of jazzing up leftovers so these twists on mac and cheese are great for common items you may have extra of in your fridge.
These also use some pantry staples that most of us have on hand, so instead of struggle meal, you can turn mac and cheese into a winner!
I am always exploring and doing twists on classics. I think that if you already love certain flavors by themselves, you may love them just a little more if you pair it with another favorite.
This is also a great way to work with picky eaters! If you have a child that loves mac and cheese, but you are terribly bored with the basics….. Upgrade your bowl with some extras and let your child have their favorite dish!
