Who can resist the melt in your mouth, creamy, cheesy goodness of homemade baked macaroni and cheese?

No one in my house! That’s for sure! This super cheesy baked macaroni and cheese is a fun cross between a southern style mac and cheese and a typical northern version.

Because, why not?

When the south meets the north…we all win!

Especially when it comes to food. And this mac and cheese is no different.

It’s packed full of cheese from around the world, spices and a super creamy sauce.

But, that’s not all…

The crispy, buttery crushed crackers top it all off to make it truly the most decadent mac and cheese you can imagine.

Have I enticed you, yet?

Awesome! Let’s head to the kitchen and make it…
