The kind of baked mac and cheese you remember from church suppers and crowded fellowship-hall tables. Tender macaroni is folded into a rich, creamy sharp Cheddar sauce with mustard, thyme, and a touch of Old Bay, then baked under a golden layer of melted cheese. Comfort food made for big scoops, second helpings, and an empty casserole dish by the end of the evening.
