A huge thanks to Burnett Dairy for sponsoring todays recipe.

The Best Baked Mac and Cheese

Hi, friends!

Spring is in the air! Well, as much as it can be Spring in Michigan, it is. It’s starting to warm up quite a bit and the kiddos are asking to go outside and play every single day. They just can’t get enough of that sunshine! And we all know how much being outdoors builds up an appetite.

My family, loves baked mac and cheese, in fact there is actually a secret family recipe for it. Obviously, I can’t share that here but I can share the one I recreated using Burnett Dairy Cheese that my husband says is at the same level as the secret family recipe. And seriously, for him to even say that is a huge deal! And it’s all in the delicious cheese we used!

The Best Baked Mac and Cheese

It’s from Burnett Dairy which is family farm community in Wisconsin. They really take pride in what they do, from start to finish. The cheese is crafted from the highest quality of milk, and it ranges from small batch artisan cheeses to horn and sliced cheeses. If you love cheese (who doesn’t, am I right?) and you love to know where your food comes from, it’s a must-try! This recipe really came out beautifully, and I just can’t wait to share it with you!

But first, this cheese..
