Tips

  • Shred your own cheese for mac and cheese.
  • Use cavatappi noodles as they grab onto the creamy cheese sauce better.
  • Baking in a cast iron skillet helps the mac and cheese stay hot longer.
  • Bake at 365 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then increase to 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the crust is as crusty as your lips.
