Baked Mac and Cheese
This past Memorial Day weekend, I realized that I have never made a baked mac n cheese… ever! It’s always one of my favorite sides to order at BBQ restaurants and we grill out and make BBQ quite a bit in this house. Baby back ribs were on our menu, so the mac n cheese was the perfect addition to the meal.
My brother in law and his fiance were visiting us for the weekend , so I thought it would be the perfect time to create my own baked mac n cheese recipe. I always have to take advantage of new taste testers besides my hubs! 😉
