Whether it’s the holiday season or not, I love a potluck. It might be for church, a kid activity, or just a bunch of friends getting together. One of my go-to potluck recipes is macaroni and cheese. Other people usually bring the same thing, but I’ll tell you something–there is never any macaroni and cheese left over, so I think it’s OK if a bunch of us bring it. I sometimes make my instant pot macaroni and cheese, but I also love making the dish I’m sharing today: my creamy baked macaroni and cheese recipe.

Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe (Perfect for Potlucks!)

This macaroni and cheese only has THREE ingredients: cheese, pasta, and heavy cream (the trifecta of delicious).

For pasta, you can use anything you want! This was on BOGO at Publix so I got these large shells, which are extra yummy because they hold extra cheese on the inside.

You can also use any cheese you want–this was also on BOGO at Publix so I got a mix of white cheddar and extra sharp cheddar. (Note that I doubled the recipe; you don’t need four blocks of cheese!)

Boil the pasta according to the package, but err on the side of al dente because it will cook more in the oven.

While the pasta is boiling, shred your cheese.
