Macaroni and cheese is maybe the ultimate comfort food. What’s not to love? It’s an excuse to eat tons of carbs and cheese. While there are countless delicious, ooey, gooey macaroni and cheese recipes, most of them are omitting one ingredient that’s a total game-changer: cream cheese.
Yes, you’ve heard of mac and cheese with lobster, mac and cheese with smoked gouda, mac and cheese with hot sauce and even macaroni and cheese with Cheez-It crackers crumbled on top. But the best-ever mac and cheese includes cream cheese. Why? Cream cheese adds a silky smoothness, resulting in a luxurious texture you need to truly try to believe.
