This is the easiest and <strong>best<\/strong> way to make a cheese sauce, you&rsquo;ll always end up with a creamy and rich sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t buy pre-shredded cheeses: <\/strong>I recommend shredding your own <strong>block<\/strong> cheese, because pre-shredded cheese usually has added ingredients which prevent the cheese from melting properly. This will result in a <strong>grainy<\/strong> texture to your sauce!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lots of sauce: <\/strong>You might feel <em>overwhelmed<\/em> when you&rsquo;re mixing the noodles into the sauce because there is so much of it. Don&rsquo;t worry! It will turn out <strong>perfect<\/strong>. The macaroni will absorb some of the sauce as everything bakes.

Follow the recipe up to the point where you combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce, then let it cool. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge overnight. When you&rsquo;re ready, bake as directed. Be aware that you may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time since the pasta will be cold from the fridge.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Crunchy Topping Option<\/strong>: For an added crunch, consider adding some crushed crackers or potato chips to the breadcrumb topping. It adds an extra layer of texture that pairs wonderfully with the creamy mac and cheese.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Avoid Overbaking<\/strong>: Be sure not to overbake your mac and cheese, as it can become dry. The perfect baked mac and cheese should be golden on top and bubbly around the edges. Remember, it will continue to cook a bit after you remove it from the oven.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Freezing Instructions<\/strong>: To freeze, prepare the mac and cheese up to the point of baking and let it cool completely. Wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap, replace the foil, and bake from frozen at 375&deg;F. You&rsquo;ll need to add an extra 20-30 minutes to the baking time, but start checking it around the hour mark. Once it&rsquo;s bubbly and golden, it&rsquo;s ready to enjoy.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<div id=\"recipe-16966-nutrition\" class=\"wprm-nutrition-label-shortcode-container\"><h3
