For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the milk mixture. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, cover the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. This mac-n-cheese can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Add 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations to find your perfect flavor profile. Gruyere, Fontina, or Monterey Jack would all be delicious additions.
