Chill it for an hour and you’ve got a dependable BBQ and potluck side that’s easy to make ahead.

Casseroles

Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe

This baked mac and cheese is creamy in the middle and crunchy on top, with sharp cheddar and Parmesan for bold, classic flavor. The roux-based sauce stays smooth and coats every noodle, so it bakes up saucy instead of dry. It is a great make-ahead side for holidays, potlucks, or cozy dinners.

Ground Beef
