Baked macaroni is a popular comfort food dish made primarily from macaroni pasta and a creamy cheese sauce. The pasta is typically cooked until al dente, then mixed with a rich blend of cheeses, such as cheddar or mozzarella, and often combined with milk or cream for added richness. Once the ingredients are mixed, the dish is transferred to a baking dish and topped with breadcrumbs or additional cheese. It is then baked in the oven until the top is golden brown and crispy, creating a delicious contrast to the soft, cheesy interior.
