But don&#8217;t let that stop you from using your favorite short pasta shape in this recipe. Penne, shells, fusilli or cavatappi are all fantastic options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon:<\/strong> Adding bacon to mac and cheese is one of the easiest ways to jazz up the beloved comfort dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Three minced garlic cloves bring a bold, garlicky taste to mac and cheese. (Wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to mince garlic<\/a> for mac and cheese?

It thickens the cheesy sauce to the perfect consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> We use 2% milk for this loaded mac and cheese recipe. For an unapologetically indulgent version, use half-and-half or heavy cream to make the creamiest, most decadent loaded mac and cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beer:<\/strong> A rich brown ale with malty, nutty caramel notes add depth to the cheese sauce. If you don&#8217;t want to use beer, you can substitute chicken broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheeses:<\/strong> A combination of extra-sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses makes this loaded mac and cheese sauce anything but boring! Avoid buying pre-shredded cheese, which may save time but just isn&#8217;t worth it. Grating the cheese yourself ensures even melting and better flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:<\/strong> Green onions are baked into the mac and cheese and used as a garnish to give the dish a colorful finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the pasta<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.

Instead, transfer the cooled mac and cheese to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to four days, assuming you don&#8217;t finish it all first.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make loaded mac and cheese ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>There are two ways to make mac and cheese in advance. Either fully cook and reheat it according to the instructions outlined below, or prep the recipe and bake it on the day you plan to serve it. If you&#8217;re going this second route, a few words to the wise: Undercook the pasta ever so slightly so it doesn&#8217;t become soggy, and take the dish out of the fridge at least 20 minutes before baking. It won&#8217;t cook properly if it&#8217;s fridge-cold.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze loaded mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze mac and cheese in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Divide it into single serving sizes to make it easier to thaw, reheat and enjoy. Thaw frozen mac and cheese in the fridge overnight, or thaw it quickly in the microwave.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat loaded mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few options for reheating mac and cheese. The best option is to bake it in the oven at 350\u00b0 for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. If you&#8217;re short on time (or famished), stick it in the microwave or pop it in a skillet. Make sure to stir the mixture from time to time for even heating. If the mac and cheese looks a little dry, add a splash of milk.<\/p>\n<h2>Loaded Mac and Cheese Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2011664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Loaded-Mac-and-Cheese_TOHVP24_227378_MR_06_21_2-e1720005829388.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Loaded Mac And Cheese Tohvp24 227378 Mr 06 21 2\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What are the best cheeses for mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>As with most melty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheese-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cheese-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cheese recipes<\/a>, bolder is better for mac and cheese. You want cheeses that can hold up to the ale&#8217;s rich, malty flavor and the bacon&#8217;s salty, savory taste. Try smoked Gouda, Gruyere, Grana Padano, Brie or goat cheese. That said, feel free to mix it up with a milder cheese like Colby, mozzarella or mild cheddar.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep mac and cheese creamy?<\/h3>\n<p>Baked mac and cheese will lose its creamy consistency if it dries out, so make sure to add enough liquid to the sauce. The joint forces of milk and ale should keep this loaded mac and cheesy at a perfect ooey-gooey consistency. When the skillet goes into the oven, the sauce should look thin with a soup-like texture. It&#8217;ll thicken as it bakes in the oven.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with loaded mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>Loaded mac and cheese is a versatile recipe that doubles as a hearty side dish or a cozy, comforting main. As a main meal, loaded mac and cheese is phenomenal with light sides like coleslaw, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/glazed-ranch-carrots\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/glazed-ranch-carrots\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">glazed ranch carrots<\/a>, garlic knots or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-tomato-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cherry-tomato-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cherry tomato salad<\/a>.

I added more bacon (because... it's bacon) and it was so good! My new favorite mac and cheese that I make! I will say my daughter (8) said it was ok and it felt like it was missing something, she likes other ones that I make more. I might play around with the cheese and make it a 4 cheese mac or something like that but as is, it's amazing to me.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-11-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Appy_Girl"},"reviewBody":"A very tasty alternative to this not only favorite but, classic sidekick.  2 great new bumper uppers Ale and Bacon.
