If coming up with school lunchbox ideas is ever a challenge (and let's be real, when is it not?), you are going to love this recipe.
Six-ingredient easy, totally adaptable, make-ahead friendly and (most importantly) kid-approved, these mac and cheese bites are about to save lunchtime!
You can use your favorite mac and cheese recipe or the easy one included here. This one’s a favorite in our house because it can easily adapt to accommodate dietary restrictions. Because there’s no egg or flour, just a few simple swaps make this dish gluten-free and/or vegan with ease.
Even better? Add in some cooked and crumbled bacon or minced chives and you’ve got a sure-fire after-school snack or party appetizer that will fly off the tray.
And best of all you can make these in advance — which earns this recipe gold-medal status when it comes to school lunches. Just pop ‘em in the freezer after they’ve cooled and re-heat in the microwave or toaster oven.
But be sure to keep some for yourself.
