Half the joy of boxed mac and cheese is its convenience: having to clean only one pan and having dinner on the table (or couch) in less than 30 minutes. With this recipe we wanted to borrow from that classic skillet mac’ to elevate our comfort-food classic with a golden crunchy top, without adding any extra cleanup.

Cooking Notes
Really good and creamy. I added some extra cheese, some gruyere, cheddar, and park. Sooooo good 😄.
I followed the recipe and then added left-over chopped pork belly and it was amazing.
