GARLIC PARMESAN MAC & CHEESE

GARLIC PARMESAN MAC & CHEESE

This will be the simplest mac and cheese you'll ever have! With 3 differing types of cheeses and therefore the creamiest sauce EVER!!!
such a lot for getting back on target with meal prep, right?

I mean.

I totally broke and cheated on meal prep with this mac and cheese.


And guess what.


It was well worthwhile .


With that cream mixture which hidden gem of added gorgonzola cheese (a Stilton would also work!), I’d cheat meal prep again and again.


Tell me you guys wouldn’t do an equivalent .


Right?


And be happy to feature in some grilled chicken or your required protein to the present mac and cheese.


Maybe some veggies.


But they’d really just get within the way of all that white sauce .


Truth, guys.
