Notes
Prep remaining ingredients (shred cheese, etc.) while pasta cooks.
Refrigerate mac n cheese for 3-5 days in air tight, individual or meal sized portions. Freeze larger portions in an air tight container for up to 3 months.
Thaw mac and cheese in the refrigerator, then reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes or until heated through. For individual portions, simply microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until heated.
