Merry Christmas! I’ve decided to gift you time! Well, I mean, I’m going to save you time. Traditional Macaroni and Cheese recipes usually involve making a bechamel or a multi-step mix, melt, transfer, then bake, or all of the above. I’m not saying it’s not worth it. Some of those recipes are great and I love ones with a light and crunchy bread crumb topping. Don’t throw those out. But, and this is a very big BUTT, sometimes you want Mac & Cheese right now, like fingers snapped, ta-daa!
It makes most sense when you’re alone and you just want a quick one person snack or meal. Maybe your screaming toddler really wants Mac & Cheese. Short of grabbing the box mix, tasty, but full of crap, you don’t know a quicker solution, until now. I know this because I developed this recipe/method as a solution for my own needs.
