It is so late in the night, I am so tired. We have had thunderstorms for a few days now. I hate to be up so late and working while it is lightening. I really wanted to get some recipes together for Thanksgiving, and I am running out of time. So working late was necessary! You can use this recipe anytime but it does do well at a holiday party! My baked macaroni and cheese recipe is very easy.
Breadcrumbs make macaroni and cheese better
What do I love most about this recipe? It would probably have to be the breadcrumbs. Oh they are so good with the combined flavors of the cheesy noodles! I have tried many recipes. This is one of my favorites. It uses my cheese soup recipe which is just really delish! This baked macaroni and cheese recipe would not be the same without breadcrumbs or my cheese soup!

We love baked macaroni and cheese. The stuff that you can buy prepacked at the store contains ingredients that are not good for growing or aging bodies. Think about what you are putting into your body, and give you children and yourself a better way of eating. Macaroni and cheese may not be the healthiest thing to eat but homemade is much better than the boxed kind you can buy at the store.
I challenge you to try to start making thing from scratch. That is how I started. I like to look at the ingredients of our favorite store bought items and try to mock the recipe. If you need help, feel free to contact me. I will answer any question I possibly can and if I do not know the answer I will find someone who does. I hope to motivate you. You are doing great mom, just keep pushing to be better and better. That is what God has planned for you!

Just an FYI, the cheese soup link goes right back to the mac & cheese recipe!
Haha, whoops! Thanks for letting me know! I will go fix it.
Yum I love macaroni and cheese. I would eat it all the time when I was pregnant. It’s one of those comfort foods that can never turn out bad. Now, if only you could cut out all the calories 😉
Right! Cheese is just so good. It is something I need in my life.
Yum! I love mac and cheese! Its one of those things that you can add something different to every time and make it even tastier.
I was thinking of putting some mushrooms with that – that’s just me. I like to put mushrooms on anything. Lol. That mac & cheese dish looks good though. It’s one of my favorite dishes because it’s easy to prepare and it’s always a huge hit at home.
Hope the thunderstorm’s stopped by this time. Stay safe.
I love mushrooms too. The kids are not so big on them though!
My hubby and kids are meat lovers so everytime I make mac and cheese, I drizzle it with crispy bacon bits.
Great idea!
I love homemade, made from scratch mac and cheese and this looks soooo good!
Thank you!
I have not baked that is a while. I will try your recipe
I love home made mac and cheese–this recipe makes my mouth water. Anything that uses a whole stick of butter is going to be tasty.
Haha, I know. Dare I use a whole stick of butter. I love butter, there is no way around it!
The classic macaroni and cheesse are one of my favorite meals…I also tried to bake them and the result is great! Your recipe looks so good!
Thank you! It is so good when baked!
I never thought of putting breadcrumbs, I’ll try that the next time I cook mac and cheese. This dish is a staple!
I must try this recipe. I like the idea of using the cheese soup. Every other recipe I’ve tried has always tasted so bland.
Oh I totally, understand that. Most recipes I have to adapt to my families liking. We like flavor too! 🙂
