Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows my uncontrollable obsession with mac and cheese. In fact, one of the first recipes I ever posted (11 years ago) was a mac and cheese recipe. To say my love runs deep would be an understatement.

As such, I’ve found myself with quite the collection on the blog. From classic baked mac and cheese, to stove-top and one-pot versions, to creamy, spicy and even mini pie variations. All of these recipes use simple, store-bought ingredients and every single one is easy to make and loaded with flavour.

Without further ado – let’s tuck into some mac and cheese!
