Can macaroni and cheese be prepared ahead of time?

- Bake the macaroni and cheese: Prepare the macaroni and cheese as needed and bake in the oven.

- Cool completely: Allow the macaroni and cheese to cool thoroughly after baking.

- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the baked macaroni and cheese for up to 2 days.

- Reheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and reheat the refrigerated macaroni and cheese, covered, for about 15-20 minutes, or until thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through.

- Serve immediately: Once reheated, serve the macaroni and cheese immediately while it's hot and creamy.
