The Best Mac and Cheese Ever Baked

When it comes to macaroni and cheese, there are many recipes out there that claim to be the best. But in my opinion, this baked mac and cheese recipe is truly the cream of the crop - or should I say, the creamiest part! The addition of butter and cheese gives the sauce a rich and velvety texture that's simply irresistible.

One key ingredient that sets this recipe apart from others is the use of Gruyere cheese. In my view, it's the best cheese for mac and cheese because of its superior flavor and melting qualities. When combined with mozzarella, you get a perfect balance of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more.

Of course, no mac and cheese recipe would be complete without some good old-fashioned elbow pasta - or in this case, macaroni. But don't worry if you only have penne or ziti on hand; any short pasta will do just fine.

What really sets this recipe apart, though, is the combination of creamy sauce and crunchy buttery topping. It's like a match made in heaven! And let me tell you, after one bite of this baked mac and cheese, you'll be hooked for life. In fact, I'm not ashamed to admit that it may just be my last meal on earth - and that's saying something!

This recipe has been a reader favorite for years, and it's included in my debut cookbook 'Dinner' by popular demand. And trust me when I say that it's a crowd-pleaser every time it's served at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So if you're looking for the best mac and cheese ever baked, look no further! This recipe is sure to become a family favorite that will be passed down for generations to come.
