  • You can follow and make this Southern mac and cheese recipe ahead of time and put it in your fridge. However, you might want to add a little more milk before baking.
  • When pre-cooking the pasta, use the lowest amount of cooking time recommended on the package. This will help keep the macaroni from becoming too mushy after baking.
  • Extra-sharp cheddar has a bolder flavor than mild or medium cheddar, which makes it perfect for a simple dish like this Southern mac and cheese, where you want the cheese to be the star of the show.
