Baked Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is total comfort food, I make many variations, some I love are this Greek Mac and Cheese, Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, or this low-carb Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese. But this broccoli version is always a hit with the kids.

It’s perfect if you’re craving macaroni and cheese without wasting an entire days worth of calories in one meal. You still get that same comforting taste. This recipe, which I first posted back in 2013 was loved by all in my home, even my not-so-crazy-about-broccoli husband loved it and leftovers are perfect for lunch.

Tips and Variations

For a stove-top broccoli mac and cheese, omit the crumb topping and serve right out of the pot. To speed things up, I used pre-cut fresh broccoli. You can bake this in one large baking dish, or individual oven safe dishes for portion control. You can halve the recipe and use a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
