If you like the kind in the blue box...
Makinze's stovetop mac & cheese is so creamy and saucy, it'll make you question whether you should use a fork or a spoon. No bread crumbs. No snobby cheeses. It's the mac you should go for if you're looking for something classic.
If you like a crunchy topping...
While developing the ultimate baked mac & cheese, June learned a combo of panko bread crumbs and crushed Ritz crackers makes the best topping. If you're into baked pastas, you MUST try it.
If you love bacon…
Lauren's mac is the one you make for a special occasions. The sauce: a creamy combination of gouda, cheddar, and Parmesan. The topping: thyme caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and sourdough croutons.
If you don't do dairy...
Delicious vegan mac & cheese might sound like an oxymoron, but thanks to Lena, it can be done. The secret ingredients: sauerkraut, russet potatoes, cashews, and nutritional yeast. Sounds crazy, tastes like, well, cheese!
