CHEESY ONE PAN MAC & CHEESE MAGIC!
If you love gooey, golden mac and cheese but hate washing up, this one’s for you! I make this creamy, cheesy pasta bake all in ONE pan—yes, even the pasta cooks in the sauce! It’s the easiest comfort food ever, with a crunchy, golden top that’ll have everyone going back for seconds (and thirds!).
