12 Creative Ways to Upgrade the Traditional Mac n’ Cheese Recipe

March 26, 2019 | Search Recipes Here

Mac and cheese is the most popular cheese-based dish in the United States, and it’s estimated that as much as half of the US will eat some form of the traditional dish at least once per week – although sometimes this dish is even more popular as a quick, easy fix and eaten more than just this. Usually, it doesn’t call for a lot of ingredients or a complicated process, which is what helps to make it a quick and easy meal for so many people – it can even feed large amounts of people!

There are a thousand different things you can do with traditional Mac n’ Cheese to give the recipe an entirely new spin – and it’s not nearly as hard as you might think to turn the traditional classic into something new.

Here are 12 creative ways that you can use to upgrade the traditional Mac n’ Cheese recipe.

1. Chives and Herbs

Mac and Cheese call for just a handful of ingredients, and what people usually prefer about the dish is its simplicity – there’s no need to add or subtract anything to the meal in order to turn it into something delicious because the meal does more than enough by itself.

But, because of its simplicity, there are a thousand different things that you can do to spice up the dish. The easiest way to do this is the addition of chives over the dish once you’re done – it gives it a great, fresh flavor that many people have never thought of before.

If it’s going into the oven, either mix fresh chives into it rather than putting it over the top – burned chives can go bitter fast.

Of course, if chives aren’t your thing, there are many other herbs that can make a great addition to the same dish, including basil.
