This easy baked macaroni and cheese starts with STOUFFER'S frozen Macaroni & Cheese and turns it into a deluxe oven-baked dish with fresh tomatoes, green onions, and a golden breadcrumb-cheddar crust. It serves 5 and is ready in about 1 hour.
Think of it as semi-homemade mac and cheese, where the frozen base provides a creamy, cheesy foundation and the oven bake adds flavor and texture similar to a from-scratch dish. The interior stays rich and creamy, while the top becomes crisp and golden brown. Fresh tomatoes add brightness, green onions add a mild bite, and the buttery breadcrumb topping adds crunch.
