Description: This creamy and delicious Southern Baked Macaroni & Cheese is the perfect comfort food side dish for any meal. It includes only two, easy-to-find cheeses, tastes amazing, and comes together so easily. iheartrecipes.com/southern-baked-macaroni-and-cheese-casserole Want to know how to make this cream, delicious mac and cheese casserole? The process is pretty darn simple, y'all. Start off by cooking the pasta. I use elbow macaroni. To make the creamy, cheesy sauce, start with a roux (butter and flour), add half and half (important for EXTRA creaminess!), cheese, and seasonings. This cheese sauce is to DIE for, ya'll. Next, assemble the mac and cheese casserole. Mix the cooked pasta and cheese sauce in a bake dish, top with extra shredded cheese (we're using tons of cheese in this recipe, y'all, be prepared!), panko bread crumbs, and she's ready to bake! This southern mac and cheese casserole is so creamy and delicious, it's really the perfect side dish for pot lucks, family dinners, holidays, and so much more.
