A home-style side dish you can perfect at home. This Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese uses elbow macaroni, butter, garlic and a blend of cheddar and Parmesan Romano cheeses.

Oh man! Second to the chicken, one of the biggest gifts Chick-fil-A has given us is the Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese. I had the privilege of sampling Chick-fil-A’s Macaroni and Cheese at a private dining when this yummy goodness hit the market. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical before arrival (there isn’t much that can pull me away from Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries) but you guys, this side decision is going to be a hard one. It was incredibly tasty and reminded me of my own Home-Style Macaroni and Cheese recipe.

If you love a classic macaroni side dish, this one is easy and oh so tasty. It’s a simple recipe that you can make as an entrée from your family any night of the week. It also has easy prep if you want to prepare everything and then store it in the freezer for another day. I love freezer meals you can grab and go!
