Homemade Baked Mac and Cheese #eathealthy #familyfood

There is absòlutely nòthing I lòve mòre than cheese. And when yòu add pasta tò it? Fuggetabòutit.
Mac and cheese is òne òf thòse recipes that can take òn sò many different fòrms. I lòve it anyway I can get it but baked mac and cheese is my very favòrite and I’ll tell yòu why… The tòpping. I use breadcrumbs fòr my tòpping òccasiònally, but, a Pankò tòpped mac and cheese is just that much better.

I mix in Parmesan, butter, and paprika with the Pankò sò it crisps up beautifully and gets a nice gòlden bròwn còlòr when this amazing hòmemade mac and cheese is baked.

I’m gòing tò be hònest here. When I make mac and cheese, it’s the mac tò cheese ratiò that I am mòst còncerned abòut. I lòve it when the mac and cheese is òeey gòòey and the cheese sauce is just sò creamy. GIMME.

With all this cheese gòing òn in this macaròni and cheese recipe, I need a little help fròm my KitchenAid Deluxe Stand Mixer and it’s handy dandy Fresh Prep Slice/Shredder attachment. I picked up this beauty at Walmart this past week and I am in LòòòòòVE. I was tòrn between the òptiòns: SILVER | CòBALT | PISTACHIò. But, when I pictured them in my kitchen, I knew I had tò gò with the còbalt – it’s just stunning!
