Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeƱos to the cheese sauce. You can also mix in some cooked crumbled bacon or diced ham for added flavor. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, topping the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs and baking it for a few minutes gives a delightful texture contrast. If you're looking to sneak in some vegetables, incorporate some steamed broccoli or peas into the mix.
