To keep you warm this winter, try making this classic comfort dish a few different ways. There’s Mary Berg’s spicy Jalapeño version, Ina Garten’s overnight mac & cheese, and even a lighter cauliflower macaroni. Scroll down for our go-to recipes!
Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
“Jalapeño Mac and Cheese has become a staple at our family celebrations, even Christmas. The spice of the jalapeño is mellowed in the cooking process but still provides enough of a zing to cut through the creamy sauce.” – Mary Berg
