When I take this bubbling beauty out of the oven, and the stretchy cheese shot, brace yourself for the heart-stopping moment in the recipe video. Put me in a Macaroni Cheese space, and there’s no chance either of us stands. Mac and Cheese had said they would be devastated. And this is my favorite of all the Macs and Cheeses in the country. Baked with cheese and mac. It’s almost universal comfort food, with so many combinations! In fact, I have hardly posted this recipe, because there are many mac and cheese recipes available in so, and most people already have their favorite way of making it.
Mac and cheese are one recipe that can take on so many different shapes. I love it wherever I can get it, but it’s my favorite baked mac and cheese, and I’m going to tell you why. I sometimes use breadcrumbs for my topping, but it’s just that much better for a Panko filled mac and cheese. I blend with the Panko in Parmesan, butter, and paprika so it crisps up perfectly and gets a lovely golden brown color when this amazing homemade mac and cheese is cooked.
