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 cheddar mac and cheese made with cheddar and barbecue-coated chicken. These creamy shells are quick to whip up and (most importantly) delicious.
