Macaroni & Cheese Recipes That Celebrate Our Love of Cheese
We know a thing or two about mmm, mmm good macaroni. Our microwave-ready sides are creamy, rich and bold in a way you only get from real cheese.
We know a thing or two about mmm, mmm good macaroni. Our microwave-ready sides are creamy, rich and bold in a way you only get from real cheese. The family favorite is great solo, but you can also doctor it up, transforming it into a filling main course, a crowd-pleasing appetizer or an unexpected mashup of new flavors.
To celebrate National Cheese Lovers Day, we highly recommend serving up one of these incredible macaroni & cheese recipes.
Air Fryer Fried Macaroni & Cheese
There’s no need to wait for the State Fair to roll around to indulge in some of your favorite fried foods. You can make these air fried macaroni & cheese bites at home – and we highly recommend you do. The little balls are crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. Dunk them in cheese sauce, ranch or marinara for an extra indulgent experience.
Jalapeño Popper Macaroni & Cheese Bites
Next up is a twist on a favorite party appetizer (after all, Jan. 20 does fall on a Friday this year) – Jalapeño Popper Macaroni & Cheese Bites. These tasty cups are also a great side or movie-night snack. They pack some heat, so make sure to have drinks handy!
Southwest Chicken Macaroni & Cheese Casserole
This extra creamy, extra cheesy casserole is crazy good. The addition of chicken, diced peppers and onions as well as some fresh cilantro drive home that southwest flavor and turn the casserole into a filling meal the whole family will love. Eating solo? You’ll look forward to eating these leftovers.
Sloppy Joe Macaroni & Cheese Casserole
We’ve always known a sloppy joe goes well with a side of macaroni & cheese. It just makes sense to bring them together in one delicious casserole. This baked macaroni and cheese dish is a hit with kids and adults alike!
Spicy Taco Macaroni & Cheese
Are you sensing a theme? We’re big fans of bringing a bit of spicy heat to our Bob Evans macaroni and cheese. Mixing spicy seasonings with mellow, cheesy noodles just works. This flavorful baked macaroni and cheese recipe comes together in under an hour and is a go-to weeknight dinner for many.
Air-Fried Tex-Mex Macaroni & Cheese Egg Rolls
We’ll wrap up this roundup the same way we started – with a killer air frier recipe. And because they are fried in an air fryer, you can enjoy these crispy egg rolls without the guilt. They are great as a party appetizer, a late-night snack or even a main course. They’re meat-free but still high in protein. And we love the balance the diced sweet potatoes bring to the Tex-Mex flavors. This recipe is a keeper.
Macaroni & Cheese Recipes You’ll Turn to Again and Again
One thing we can pretty much guarantee? If you give any of these recipes a try on Jan. 20, you’ll make them again long before the next National Cheese Lovers Day rolls around. Simple, delicious and cheesy, these macaroni & cheese recipes beg to be repeated.
