| You can serve this macaroni and cheese right after you stir the sauce and noodles together or you can spoon it into two loaf pans, sprinkle the top with crumbled croutons and paprika, and bake until it's bubbling and lightly browned around the edges. It's up to you. You can also serve one loaf pan and freeze the other for next week. INGREDIENTS Serves: Prep: 10min Cook: 45min Total: 55min canola oil cooking spray | |
