- To prevent the macaroni from sticking together, cook it in salted water and rinse it thoroughly before adding it to the cheese sauce.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle some bread crumbs or crushed crackers on top of the macaroni and cheese before baking.
- If you want a more flavorful macaroni and cheese, add some cooked bacon, diced ham, or crumbled sausage to the cheese sauce.
