But the day I was feeding 25 teens, I needed a side I could make ahead and keep warm. I definitely feel that this dish is best fresh, right off the stove. Obviously it worked marvelously, otherwise I wouldn’t be here telling you about it.
I’d never tried Make-Ahead Mac-n-Cheese before, but figured it was worth a shot! I wondered: Could I make my easy Mac-n-Cheese for a crowd, then put it in the crock pot to stay warm? After all, I didn’t want to be a slave to the stove just as my guests were arriving.
