Love mac and cheese? You’re in the right place. This round-up features my favorite creamy macaroni and cheese recipes – from classic baked cheddar to twists loaded with extra flavor and mix-ins. These recipes are perfect for cozy dinners, Thanksgiving spreads, potlucks, or any time you want to treat yourself to a pan of melty, cheesy goodness.
Mushroom Macaroni and Cheese
This recipe takes mac and cheese up a notch – you’ve got meaty mushrooms + thick-cut bacon + a creamy Gruyere sauce all tossed with cavatappi pasta. It’s a fancy-ish side dish and perfect for special occasions or holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Classic Baked Mac and Cheese
Decadent and always a classic: baked macaroni and cheese uses a traditional béchamel sauce and two types of cheddar for maximum creaminess and melt-factor. So, when you want classic comfort done right, this is the recipe for you.
Roasted Broccoli Mac and Cheese
Another mac and cheese with veggies, but this time it’s caramelized roasted broccoli mixed into a creamy cheese sauce and elbow macaroni. The broccoli has an amazing flavor and adds a nice pop of color, too.
4 Ingredient Gruyere Macaroni and Cheese
You only need four ingredients for this stovetop mac and cheese, but it tastes like a fancy pants restaurant version. Smoked Gruyere cheese takes a what might be a plain jane mac and cheese to a whole new level. It’s a must try!
Creamy White Cheddar Mac and Cheese
This white macaroni and cheese is the ultimate simplicity for when you’re craving cheesy pasta without a lot of fuss. White cheddar + Fontina = creamy, silky, stovetop magic.
Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese
Green chile mac and cheese is one of my all-time favorites. The cheese sauce is infused with green chile flavor so every bite has a hint of warmth and heat. If you’re looking for something a little different, it’s a great one to try.
