How Long Can I Keep Mac and Cheese Bites?
Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave on a low to medium heat setting until warm.
How do I Increase the Flavor?
If you want to increase the flavor, use a sharp cheddar. Sharp cheddar will have a stronger taste. Sharp cheddar also takes a little longer to melt, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
