Boston Market Mac and Cheese (Copycat)

Boston Market Mac and Cheese, made with three cheeses, is super creamy, Easy To Make, and the perfect copycat!

Mac and Cheese is the ultimate comfort food, and nothing screams fall and holidays more than comfort food. We’re huge fans of Boston Market here for fast food. The chicken is delicious, and we love both the mac and cheese and the creamed spinach.

Mac and Cheese has so many versions it is hard to call anything the Ultimate Mac and Cheese, but this creamy mac and cheese is the perfect Boston Market Macaroni and Cheese copycat.

Can I make this Mac and Cheese on the stovetop?

Yes, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until creamy and the liquid is reduced.

Adding bacon is an awesomely easy way to make the macaroni and cheese. After cooking the bacon, swap out half the butter for bacon grease in the pan. Once cooked, top with 6 crumbled slices of bacon and stir gently.

Can I make Mac and Cheese in my slow cooker?

No, I don’t suggest it, but you can certainly make my Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese and add swap out ½ cup of the cheese for blue cheese for a similar Boston Market flavor.

Some other delicious copycat side dishes!

You guys know I am ALL about copycats. Tell me what copycat you can’t wait to see on the blog. I would LOVE to oblige! In fact, I asked this question a couple of months ago, and someone said Wendy’s Chili. I bumped up the posting of it to the next day instead of months later because I’d already made it!

Kitchen Tools
Baking Pan: This is great as it looks suitable for serving, too!
Skillet with Lid: I used my All-Clad pan for this recipe, but I also own this exact pan, which I use for clients. It is great quality at 1/4th the price. I cook for us with All-Clad pans, which I hope to pass down to my kids (I’m sappy, I know).
