Bojangles Mac and Cheese Recipe

This Bojangles Mac and Cheese recipe is a gem if you really want some creamy, cheesy macaroni - no other way to say it!
You’ll need simple ingredients like elbow macaroni, whole milk, and sharp cheddar.
One trick I always use is letting the cheese sauce thicken a bit before mixing everything together.
For me, I love adding just a hint of garlic and onion powder, which adds a unique depth to the flavor.
