ALL-CHEDDAR BAKED MAC AND CHEESE
This recipe is sponsored by Cabot. Custardy baked macaroni and cheese is our favorite way to celebrate National Cheddar Cheese Day on 2/13/2021. We came up with an easy, stir-together sauce of cream, evaporated milk and eggs, then loaded it up with sharp Cheddar. Topped with buttery breadcrumbs, the entire dish gets rich, bubbly and brown in the oven.
