Mac ‘n' Cheese gets a Michelin-star Makeover. Try it for dinner tonight!

A VERY ADULT MAC ‘N’ CHEESEA mixture of cheeses, grated and combined with sour cream, salt, and Dijon mustard. This mixture is put in a warm pan and creates the creamy sauce, cooked pasta is added, and all is mixed until it’s hot and bubbly! Toasted Panko breadcrumbs sprinkled on top add crunch and texture. This is an easier and quicker way to make mac ‘n’ cheese in one pan, without having to bake it or make a velouté sauce. Using aged cheeses gives the dish incredible depth of flavor, and the Dijon mustard adds a kick of heat to balance the richness of a mac ‘n’ cheese.
