The best & most reliable homemade mac and cheese recipe, 2 ways: Whip up a creamy mac and cheese on the stove in just 15 minutes, or bake it in the oven with a crispy breadcrumb topping! Plus, how to make baked mac and cheese bites for a fun finger food appetizer.
First, I’ll walk you through how to make an easy mac and cheese sauce or “roux” for an ultra-creamy texture, using any cheeses you like. (It’ll even keep baked mac and cheese creamy!)
For a quick stovetop mac and cheese, just stir cooked macaroni noodles into the cheese sauce & serve. Or when you want baked mac and cheese, transfer to a baking dish with a panko breadcrumb topping and bake until crispy!
You can even turn the leftovers into a crispy snack or appetizer—just roll chilled macaroni into bite-sized mac and cheese balls, coat with panko breading, & bake! No deep frying necessary.
