I’ve tried a couple different stove top recipes in the past year but none of them really had the “wow” factor I was looking for.īut the Panera mac and cheese recipe? Oh this version is different. If macaroni and cheese isn’t for you, Panera has added a few other items to their fall menu as well, including a sausage and pepperoni flatbread pizza and a limited-time Cinnamon Crunch Latte, which is made with freshly brewed espresso, foamed milk and cinnamon syrup, all topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar.I know I lamented back in the fall about this being the very best mac and cheese recipe out there but until today, I’ve still yet to post a quick stove top mac and cheese recipe. You’ll also need white cheddar and yellow cheddar cheeses, plus a handful of other ingredients like milk, flour and butter. The recipe uses Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese and is topped with herbed panko. If you don’t have a Panera near you, or just want to try your hand at making your own macaroni and cheese, Disney recently shared their Ultimate Mac and Cheese recipe from Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival.

You can find it at grocery retailers nationwide. Their Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese combines two cheddar cheese sauces into a velvety blend that covers macaroni, broccoli florets and julienned carrots. They even created a new dish using the comfort food last year by combining it with another popular menu item - broccoli cheddar soup. They followed that up a few months later with an option to build your own mac and cheese with a variety of toppings like smoked pulled chicken, avocado, pico de gallo, apple-cider-vinegar barbecue sauce, frizzled onions and fresh cilantro. The restaurant chain started including the option to add bacon to the dish a few years ago.

Panera’s macaroni and cheese is quite popular, so it’s not really a surprise they decided to turn it into a sandwich. The pasta is made with fontina and mozzarella cheeses and sprinkled with parmesan crisps, then sandwiched between slices of toasted country-style white miche bread. Hitting menus nationwide this month, Panera’s new Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwich combines their fan-favorite macaroni and cheese with a grilled cheese sandwich. If you’ve ever dreamed macaroni and cheese could be a bit more portable and, well, fork-less, Panera’s newest menu item is made just for you.
