Baked Veggie Mac & Cheese
This creamy Veggie Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe is a super quick and easy weeknight dinner. Packed with fresh veggies and topped with melty cheese and crisp bacon. Sometimes I make this as a side dish, sometimes I add a little chicken right into skillet and have a one dish dinner!

Note
I love this recipe from I Wash You Dry so much that I just can't remember how many times and how many different ways I've made it. It's quick, delicious and so easy to customize to use up what you have on hand. Check out her website for many more great recipes, I've made one from this site that my family didn't like!
