➔ Becky’s Tips:

 

• To make this dish even creamier, use half and half or heavy cream instead of milk.
• If you like a little spice, add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
• To make this dish more filling, add some cooked and crumbled bacon, diced ham, or cooked ground beef to the mac and cheese before cooking.
• For a crunchy topping, mix some breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the mac and cheese before serving.
