This Macaroni Grill Mac and Cheese Recipe is my ultimate comfort food indulgence, creamy, cheesy, and luxuriously rich with a blend of smoked mozzarella, asiago, fontina, cheddar, and a touch of truffle oil. With a crispy garlic bread topping, it’s just like the restaurant version, but made right in your own kitchen. Perfect for family dinners, holiday gatherings, or any time you want to treat yourself.

Required Kitchen Tools

When I make this Macaroni Grill Mac and Cheese, having the right tools ready makes everything flow so much smoothly:
  1. Large Pot: For boiling the pasta to al dente perfection.
  2. Large Saucepan: To prepare the creamy cheese sauce.
  3. Whisk: Essential for blending flour into butter without lumps.
  4. Mixing Bowls: For tossing and combining cheeses.
  5. Baking Dish: A large dish or individual ramekins for that bubbly, baked finish.
  6. Large Skillet: Perfect for toasting the garlic bread topping evenly.
  7. Wooden Spoon or Spatula: For gentle stirring without breaking the pasta.
With these tools at your side, making this dish feels just like cooking in a professional kitchen, only with the bonus of getting to eat the results right away.
