    Macaroni and cheese is total comfort food, I make many variations, some I love are this Greek Mac and Cheese, Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, or this low-carb Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese. But this broccoli version is always a hit with the kids.,Alt=,Its perfect if youre craving macaroni and cheese without wasting an entire days worth of calories in one meal. You still get that same comforting taste. This recipe, which I first posted back in 2013 was loved by all in my home, even my not-so-crazy-about-broccoli husband loved it and leftovers are perfect for lunch.,For a stove-top broccoli mac and cheese, omit the crumb topping and serve right out of the pot.,To speed things up, used pre-cut fresh broccoli.,You can bake this in one large baking dish, or individual oven safe dishes for portion control.,You can halve the recipe and use a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.,Macaroni and Cheese Soup with Broccoli,Easiest Pasta with Broccoli,Broccoli and Orzo
