Easy Mac and Cheese Casserole Recipe
One of our favourite recipes we like to add to our family meal plans is an easy casserole. This delicious Mac and Cheese Casserole is so simple to make and is an easy mid-week meal idea for the whole family.
Mac and Cheese
Mac and cheese was one of my comfort foods when I lived on my own, I’d make it after a day at work and sit on the sofa with a big bowl and enjoy it. Now I’ve got kids they ask for this at the end of a hard day at school when they want something comforting and familar.
I love making this, just 15 minutes of preparing then baked in the oven and ready on the table for us all to enjoy. Check out our guide to cooking pasta so that you have delicious elbow noodles in the mac and cheese.
