- 6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until heated through, bubbly; and nicely browned.
MAC N' CHEESE (WW)
We enjoyed this mac n' cheese -- but I really like that it is prepared in individual serving dishes so I don't over estimate or under estimate my serving -- that way I know I only had 5 pts worth of mac n' cheese! Recipe source: Weight Watchers Magazine
