Mac and CheeseĪ rich, creamy custard-like mac and cheese made with simple ingredients! This baked mac and cheese recipe is loaded with pantry staple ingredients and the perfect blend of cheeses to make this ultra creamy and flavorful. Today’s baked macaroni and cheese not only has a creamy, custard center, but it’s PACKED with cheesy flavor thanks to my special blend of cheeses. They were creamy, yes, but flavorful and cheesy? Not so much. I found that many homemade recipes were lacking in flavor.

I was never a homemade mac and cheese fan before I made my one pot mac and cheese. Most of us probably picture that pretty blue box when we think of mac and cheese, but today, I say “move OVER boxed mac” and hellllooo baked mac and cheese.
