Whole grain dijon mustard adds depth to creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese, the ultimate comfort food.

Mac and cheese lovers are divided: those who want it creamy and those who prefer more of an egg-custard consistency. Personally, I've found that what matters most is the quality of the cheese. Use the best you can find.

I love macaroni and cheese as a hearty side dish or simple main course with a fresh green salad. Leftovers are perfect for brunch, with slices of country ham and a grilled fresh tomato.

If you prefer another type of pasta, feel free to substitute, preferably with any pasta that has a corkscrew shape—it will hold the sauce better.

Here's another tip: Stirring hot pasta into the cheese helps the melting process. For a quicker stovetop version, just omit the breadcrumb topping.
