Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk to revive the creamy consistency.
Food and Drink Pairings
Mac and cheese pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For drinks, consider serving with a crisp white wine like Chardonnay or a light beer to complement the rich, cheesy flavors.
