Experimenting with different ingredients in my #tunanoodlecasserole alot lately. With our big family this meal has become a necessity and I've had the need to create it with a plethora of different ingredients over the last half of a year. 😄👌👍😏

I used peas instead of zucchini this time! I also did not have any gruyere cheese or a mac & cheese seasoning packet.🤷🏻‍♀️ I also used shredded mozzarella & white cheddar instead.👌😎 Elbow noodles instead of shells, green onion instead of red, & lastly I used a mini crouton shaker instead of bread crumbs for the topping! #usewhatyouhave

Dad's Famous BBQ Pork Mac n Cheese Dad's Famous BBQ Pork Mac n Cheese

I made this one night for dinner one night not expecting it to turn out as amazing as it is. To my surprise my extremely picky eater daughter loved it and now asks for it as "Dad's Famous Mac n Cheese". Great thing about this is everything is cooked separately so if someone doesn't like pork you can very easily do a side of plain Mac n cheese.

Cheesy Mac and Cheese (without the mess) Cheesy Mac and Cheese (without the mess)

Since this is my recipe, of course I'm going to rate it 5 stars! Lol... Just a few notes though: I usually use the American cheese slices, and just break them up into little pieces. More recently, I've used Rienzi kids macaroni with carrot and squash to add the vegetable factor, lol. Also, while the bread crumbs add that extra oomph, they're not totally necessary. But when you add the crumbs, I sometimes put a sliver of butter on the corners of the pan, just so it doesn't burn. Hope you guys love it! (whenever possible, use low fat/reduced fat products... it comes out just as great!) The cover photo is from the first time I made it, and I have since improved my presentation, lol.

I saw this recipe on "Hellthy Junk Food's" page. I follow them on Snapchat & Instagram personally, though I'm sure they are elsewhere as well! 😉👌😏👍 They did an episode on "What to do with #leftovermacncheese ???" 🤔😄 and if you ever make macaroni & cheese in your home, then I highly recommend watching it! 😄👏😎 This was perfect & can be made with any mac 'n' cheese that you like or have around. The added bacon was my own personal touch, as I had some leftover in my fridge already made! 😆🥓👩‍🍳 My man & children went crazy for this & we will definitely be making it again! 🥇🏆🥇 #leftoversmakeovers #fridgecleanout #macncheese #grilledcheese #macncheesegrilledcheese
