Craving comfort food but short on time? This Air Fryer Mac & Cheese recipe is your cheesy savior! Forget boiling water and fussy stovetop stirring – the air fryer makes this classic dish unbelievably quick and easy.
Simply combine your favorite cooked macaroni with a rich and creamy cheese sauce (think cheddar, Gruyere, and a touch of Parmesan for extra depth). For the cheese sauce consider using a roux-based sauce for richness or a shortcut of evaporated milk and cream cheese for speed.
Pour the cheesy mixture into a greased air fryer-safe dish. Top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch (optional, but highly recommended!). Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Each bite delivers that classic, comforting mac & cheese flavor with a delightfully crispy top. It's the perfect weeknight meal, side dish, or late-night indulgence. Get ready to experience mac & cheese like never before!
