Whoa.
Moving is kind of stressful, tiring and just plain not all that fun.
While I have been in the new house for over two weeks now, we are just now doing the big haul of transferring all the families belongings.
Oh my gosh, so much stuff, it’s insane.
We need to purge.
And on top of moving everything into the new house yesterday, I actually cooked a full meal, photographed and made even more chaos for everyone.
What I was thinking I have no idea.
Since things are crazy over here right now I thought this mac and cheese would be the perfect thing to post.
Just like the title says it is no boil. Meaning you do not have to cook the pasta before adding it to that dreamy cheese sauce. Which makes this the easiest mac and cheese ever. Like easier than the boxed stuff. Ah huh.
Oh, and there are toasted bread crumbs.
And tons and tons of cheese.
It is total Sunday comfort food, or birthday food in my mom’s case. Yeah, she spent her birthday moving. There was not even a cake. So sad. But do not worry, there will be cake. Just once I get the kitchen put back together.

Head on over to Tablespoon for this No-Boil Mac and Cheese Recipe!! <— Do it.
Moving is not fun but this mac and cheese is the perfect meal to look forward to after a day of unpacking!
I agree!! Thanks Laura!
It’s been far too long since I’ve made homemade mac n’ cheese. This one looks so good!!
Man, you need to make some already!! 🙂
Definitely going to check out this recipe! No boil and tons of breadcrumbs?! YUM! Hopefully the move is almost over – moving is the worst!
Thanks Cate!!
Crap – that first post should say no “boil”, not no bake. I should really slow down with the coffee this morning!
I can. not. wait. to try this!!! But you are not helping me get these baby pounds off. Grr. I’ve never thought to make no bake mac n cheese. You are now even more brilliant than I previously thought 🙂
Oh – and good luck with the moving and unpacking. I totally feel your pain. I hope you get settled in more quickly than I did 🙂
Haha! Thank you! It is going good, but my family is beat!
Thanks Amber!! There is more healthier food to come! 🙂
This looks so much more creamier even if you did do it the boil way! Mac and Cheese has been my childhood favorite so I can’t wait to try!
Thanks Kira! Hope you love it!
I hear you on the moving stress. I always start the process enthusiastic and organized, but inevitably I reach a point where boxes are flung every which way and all I want to do is jump into bed.
So impressed that in the midst of it all you made (and photographed, and posted…) this mac and cheese. Loving the no-boil shortcut!
Thank you so much, Alyssa!! My family is at the bed point!
I am seriously salivating right now. This mac ‘n’ cheese looks seriously amazing!
I make no-boil lasagna all the time, but I never thought to try the same technique with M&C! Definitely gotta try this one soon! Hope the rest of your move goes smoothly and that you can get some much-needed rest!
Thank you so much, Sara!! Hope you had a great weekend!
This mac and cheese looks awesome. So perfect.
I hope the move goes well for you!
Pinning.
Thanks Abbie! 🙂
Tieghan, where do you get all your gorgeous bowls?? These and the ones from your guacamole post are giving me serious prop-envy!
Hope the rest of the move goes smoothly–moving is the worst, but mac & cheese is the best!
Thanks so much, Becky!!
My brother mad that bowl in school! HAh!
This look awesome and who doesn’t love mac n cheese? On another note, how do you take the photo of the ‘pouring’ cheese?
Thanks Kathy!
Sometimes if people are around I will ask them to pour while I take the photo, but most of the time I have to use my tri pod and set my camera up to take the shot. It is a little bit of a process, but I think step shots like these are fun! Have a great Sunday, Kathy!
We must be brain twins…I am totally making mac ‘n cheese today! However, mine has to be boiled so you win!
Girl, this rocks! Love the Havarti cheese addition…one of my favs!
Haha! I am sure you mac and cheese is totally awesome! Thanks Taylor and have a great Sunday!
Bah! I totally agree..moving is so stressful, but totally awesome once you’re settled. I want the biggest of big bowls of this!
Thanks Katrina! Hope you have a great Sunday!
I’ve made a pasta bake before, but never thought about using the same technique for macaroni and cheese. Genius!
Good luck with the rest of your move 🙂
Thanks so much, Megan!
Girl, this is awesome! Loving your recipe for No-Boil Mac & Cheese (Havarti…c’mon, right?) with a homemade roux and kicked up sauce with cayenne, garlic and mustard, because my Mom’s old recipe called for a can of condensed soup along with Cheddar cheese. Seriously, cannot wait to make this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Stacy!! I love a little kick and yes, havarti is awesome!! 🙂
Have a great Sunday!
