Freezer Meals Recipe: No Boil Mac n Cheese

March 9, 2020 by Empty Nester Leave a Comment

We made meals for our freezer meals outreach again a few days ago. We made three different dishes, including one of the favorites, No Boil Mac n Cheese!

We make Mac n Cheese every two or three months. This one is very kid friendly and also meatless for Lent. Although this might not be the healthiest dish in the world. ๐Ÿ™‚ But these meals are for people who are stressed and need a little extra love. So sometimes we provide that in the form of Mac n Cheese.

For the record, when I first saw this recipe I didn’t think the noodles would be tender without boiling them first. So I made this for my family without freezing it. And yes, the noodles do cook. You just need to stir it up before serving; This really is a great meal to keep in our outreach freezer, especially for when somebody comes by to pick up meals for a family with kids.
