About a year ago, I decided to make my macaroni and cheese recipe. I’ll eat any pasta, I like cheese, so I wanted to enjoy macaroni and cheese. Everything was perfect for my first time making it; I finally understood the appeal! Unfortunately, I lost the original recipe for Baked Macaroni and Cheese With Ground Beef and Spinach, and subsequent attempts were only so-so until today.

I viewed several recipes and combined parts of them to come up with this one. It’s rich and creamy without being too much; it was perfect for me. If you’ve never made a roux before, don’t be intimidated, it requires attention but is not difficult and is necessary to achieve creaminess and evenly distribute the flavour.

I’m thrilled I used some chicken stock instead of all milk this time; I think that’s what kept this from being too thick. This Baked Macaroni and Cheese With Ground Beef and Spinach recipe is versatile; you can leave out the meat or use bacon or chicken, switch the spinach to broccoli and use whatever kind of cheeses you like. However, it probably took me close to an hour to prepare, so this is not a dish for a quick work-night meal.
