11 Macaroni and Cheese Recipes - A collection of delicious macaroni and cheese recipes including stovetop, baked and even a vegan version!

Okay, here's the deal, macaroni and cheese is awesome. You throw some cracker crumbs or breadcrumbs on top and bake it, it becomes even more awesome. If you aren't with me so far, you might as well go and come back tomorrow because today is all about the amazing awesomeness of MACARONI AND CHEESE.

I know, some of you are die hard blue box (you know the one) fans. I will admit, I buy it. I make it for my kids and I ~~eat~~ taste it for them ~~over and over and over~~. And, while I am no snob to any macaroni and cheese, I generally prefer a nice casserole dish, bubbling over the edges, straight from the oven. I just don't always have the time for the extra step of baking, so I was pretty stoked when I made a stove top version that was creamy and cheesy and all kinds of delicious!

I immediately started planning out my post of the recipe and then I got thinking (sometimes it's a good thing). Everyone seems to have their own favorite macaroni and cheese recipe and/or method of preparing it, so I reached out to some of my blogger friends and asked them to share with me (and you) their tried and true homemade macaroni and cheese recipes. As usual, these ladies didn't disappoint. No matter what your taste, you are bound to find one that suits you. We even have a vegan option!

As you read my recipe you might not think these cheeses actually go together and you may be right! But, listen, I got the hankering for macaroni and cheese and this is what I had in my fridge and the results were delicious, so to heck with the fancy cheese snobs who don't mix and match cheeses.
