Description
Two comfort food legends—mac & cheese and stuffing—join forces in this over-the-top cozy bake. Creamy, cheesy macaroni is folded into savory, herby stuffing, then baked until golden and bubbling. It’s indulgent, nostalgic, and made for the kind of meal where seconds are non-negotiable.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked macaroni
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (prepared)
2 tbsp butter
1½ cups milk or half-and-half
2 tbsp flour
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: extra cheese or breadcrumbs for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux. Cook 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until thickened (about 3–4 mins). Stir in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1½ cups cheese until melted.
In a large bowl, mix cooked macaroni with cheese sauce and prepared stuffing.
Pour into baking dish. Top with remaining cheese or breadcrumbs if desired.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until hot and golden.
