Garlic Parmesan Mac and Cheese - This will be the best mac and cheese you will ever have! With 3 different types of cheeses and the creamiest sauce EVER!!!

​So much for getting back on track with meal prep, right?

I mean.

I totally broke and cheated on meal prep with this mac and cheese.

And guess what.

It was well worth it.

With that cream mixture and that hidden gem of added gorgonzola cheese (a Stilton would also work!), I’d cheat on meal prep again and again.

Tell me you guys wouldn’t do the same.

Right?

And feel free to add in some grilled chicken or your desired protein to this mac and cheese.

Maybe some veggies.

But they’d really just get in the way of all that cream sauce.

Truth, guys.
