Copycat Famous Dave’s Mac ‘N’ Cheese

At a birthday party we were at recently, our friends had catered Famous Dave’s. It had been YEARS since the last time I had eaten there, so I obviously forgot how good their food was! Wowzas (I know, a real professional word, right?)

One of my favorites was the mac ‘n’ cheese. I have tried numerous homemade mac ‘n’ cheese recipes over the years. When I was pregnant, I always craved Wal-Mart’s Great Value thick and creamy mac ‘n’ cheese. I could eat a whole box myself, but I did divide it up into well, 2 servings. Better than one, right? When I would try to make something similar, the cheese always ended up “mealy” in a sense. I was never fully satisfied and decided to just keep trying.

Often with “famous” recipes, you can find copycat recipes online. I decided to see if I could find one for the Famous Dave’s mac ‘n’ cheese and sure enough! There were numerous out there, but all had roughly the same ingredients. This recipe is adapted from a LA Times newspaper article. I tweaked it just a tad for our liking and I must say, it was incredibly good! It was creamy, tasty, and very filling! This will definitely be my go-to homemade mac ‘n’ cheese recipe!
