Baked Havarti and Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese

I feel like having a great macaroni and cheese recipe is a necessity. Mac and cheese is one of those foods that almost everyone loves. Kids and adults alike go crazy for the stuff, and it is a great side dish for almost any meal. It can also be an excellent main course all on its own! Anytime there is a cookout, potluck or any event where people are bringing covered dishes, mac and cheese is a no-brainer. This Baked Havarti and Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese recipe uses creamy, buttery havarti and ultra flavorful cheddar to create the ultimate sauce.

Baked Havarti and Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese

I am all about baking macaroni and cheese, because I love those little browned bits that form on the top. I also think it really helps the noodles to absorb the cheese sauce, and all of the other flavors to pop out even more. Before you bake this, the sauce is going to seem very liquidy. That’s okay! The sauce will evaporate and thicken while it is baking, and the end result is going to make you want to hide in the pantry and have this all to yourself!

These are the ingredients that you will need for this Baked Havarti and Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese:

  • Macaroni pasta
