Sometimes, nothing but a big bowl of cheesy mac will do—especially when that bowl is actually warm, crusty sourdough bread (and if that’s five out of five weekdays for you, we totally understand). That’s why we're offering bacon-studded mac and cheese for whenever that carby craving strikes. These creamy shells are quick to whip up and (most importantly) delicious. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving*

Cooking Steps
Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to cook.
RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into serving bowl.
ALTERNATIVELY: Cut one corner of the bag; pour mac and cheese into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and mac and cheese will be very hot.)
BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2-4-inch circle into the top of the loaf and remove (save for another use). Scoop out the inside of the bread to create a bowl. Brush inside of bread bowl with 1 TBSP olive oil or melted butter; bake on middle rack until lightly toasted and warmed through, 7-8 minutes
