Sometimes, nothing but a big bowl of cheesy mac will do—especially when you pair it with a side of buttery garlic bread. That’s why we're offering this killer combo. Oh, did we mention this mac and cheese is studded with bacon? Whenever that carby craving strikes, these creamy shells are quick to whip up and (most importantly) delicious.

Cooking Steps

1

Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to cook.

2

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.

3

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.)

4

GARLIC BREAD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate garlic bread into slices and serve.

The Mac and cheese was great. The garlic bread did not have enough garlic butter to really flavor the bread.

Nothing special but a good quick lunch or dinner. Better smoky flavor than I thought it would have.
