Let me preface this post by saying. . .just because I’m posting a comfort food recipe does NOT mean I’m okay with summer coming to an end. Because. . .I’m not. I try to hang on to summer as long as possible. Heck, I may just get crazy and post a popsicle recipe yet this month. Just watch me. 🙂

The truth of the matter is. . .I love comfort food. From crockpot recipes and soups to classic potluck recipes and more, comfort food is my favorite food. . .ever. And it’s difficult for me NOT to eat it year round.

This fall and winter, this blog is going to be oozing comfort food recipes, so get ready! I know you love them, too! We’re just getting our feet wet today with this Ritz Cracker Macaroni and Cheese.

There’s milk, cheese and. . .more cheese. Because that’s the way we do it here in Wisconsin. And just to “up” the deliciousness factor, let’s crumble a bunch of buttery Ritz crackers on top. Yes, let’s.

The magic happens when all of these ingredients start melting together. The noodles soak up the milk and the butter and the cheese envelopes it all.

When the crackers are browned and the cheese is melted, this mouth-watering noodle bake is ready to eat. It’s absolutely the best when eaten while it’s still steaming. . .straight out of the oven. Don’t let that macaroni and cheese get cold! You’ll be sorry.

    I just made this today for the family, and they loved it. I think that this will be my go to recipe for now on. My family really like how creamy it was, followed by the crunch topping. Thanks again!

        This is my go to recipe when wanting Mac n cheese. The only thing I did a little different was put half noodles down and put cheese and ritz crackers down then more noodle mixture and top with cheese and ritcrackers. Gives a little crunch in the middle.

      Potentially, yes, but I’m not sure it will melt the same. I’ve never tried it with shredded cheese.

      I haven’t, but that sounds like it could be a good addition. Let me know if you try it!
