Filipino-style Baked Macaroni <\/strong>is the ultimate pasta dish! With a sweet, meaty sauce, hearty noodles, and cheesy topping, it's hearty, tasty, and sure to be a crowd favorite. This recipe includes baked or no-bake instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, I asked Kawaling Pinoy readers to share their favorite holiday meals. One dish that came up more than the customary lumpiang shanghai<\/a>, lechon belly<\/a>, and pineapple glazed ham<\/a> was baked macaroni. Guys, I cannot agree more! It's the perfect party food, as not only is it everyone's favorite, but one pan can also easily feed an army of guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make baked mac and cheese at home once or twice a week. I toss pasta and meat sauce together, top the mixture with grated cheese, throw it all in the oven for a few minutes, and call it a day. However, to turn this dinner staple into a party-worthy dish, a simple mornay sauce makes a lot of difference.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's amazing how a ten-minute cheese sauce quickly turns my everyday mac and cheese from blah to ahh. The cheese topping includes two types of cheeses for the ultimate creamy taste. It adds an extra layer of flavor and protects the beef macaroni from drying out in the oven. So load it up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
