The Cheesiest Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Comfort food are two words that come to mind when I think of Macaroni and Cheese.  And I could eat a whole pan of this in one sitting (well, maybe not).  And this dish goes waaaaay back.  I’ve been eating this since I was kiddo, plus it’s family favorite.

There used to be a time that my mom would make this for us just about every time she visited.  Did I mention how good it is?  Gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.  Hee-hee.

When we first got married, I was scared to death to make this recipe.  I was (more or less) terrified that it wouldn’t taste like my moms. Plus, the first time Steve (my husband) had it, my mom had made it.  No pressure, right?

Dinner is served! This Baked Macaroni and Cheese is dangerously good. Delicious and simple -- your whole family will be begging for more. Recipe at livelaughrowe.com #dinner #macandcheeseWell, I’m happy to say that ten years into our marriage, this Baked Macaroni and Cheese is on the regular rotation.  I officially make a mean baked macaroni and cheese.  My husband loves this recipe — so I can NEVER go wrong by having it on the menu!

And would you believe that my mom still has the original recipe card for this from 1973?  There’s truth in the words, oldie but a goodie!  Doubling this recipes is always a must — it flies right out of the pan!

I’m over the moon excited to share this recipe with you!  Who knows?  It might become your new family favorite!  Try pairing it with stewed tomatoes and apple sauce too!  Enjoy.

    Sounds delicious, haven’t made mac ‘n cheese from scratch in too many years but just might have to try this. Incredible your Mom still has the original recipe card. I have some of those also. Even tho I make the boxed stuff I like to put it in the oven for few minutes before I’ll eat it. Just seems to give it more flavor and that little crust on top, yummmmy. Used to be hubs wouldn’t eat it unless there was some kind of meat in it but he’s gotten to like it much more. When we lived in KY our daughter in law made it almost every day for side dish with supper. Great post Kelly Happy week

    You can never, ever go wrong with macaroni and cheese! I love making it from scratch and this is very close to my recipe. I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it!

    Silly question but do you butter the baking dish before you put the mac ‘n cheese in there? Classic recipes ARE the best and I love that this one does NOT include pumpkin puree. Seems like every recipe posted this month does! 😉

      Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for stopping by… We don’t, but if you wanted to you could. Since we spoon it out, there’s not too much concern for a little sticking. Hope that helps! Enjoy. xo

    This looks incredible! I need to have this in my rotation. Funny that the recipe card was from 1973! It is good that you now have the recipe preserved on the world wide interwebs 🙂 so that it can’t get lost or damaged so much that it is unreadable!
